Questions:
- Is it better to connect backplanes using the two HBA cards or the reverse breakout cables straight to the motherboard? Initially I am only running with 8 x 8tb Reds. My intent is to have 3VDEVs of 8 drives each in the pool but with the initial cost of the build it might be a while.
- Can/should I add more RAM when I add more HDDs? I was thinking about starting off with 32GB and upgrading to 64GB later.
Thanks,
Keith
