Hi!
Just got my first freenas system running, and loving the challenge so far, with 2 wd reds in mirror. I bought 3 reds because i first planned on going raidz1 but changed my mind during configuration and went with mirror.
Mostly because it fits my upgrade pattern better and mirrors seemed more dynamic and faster than raidz
So i sit now with 2 reds in mirror now housing all the data from my synology, which has a green drive, and a spare red drive.
After hearing so bad rep about the green drive in raid 5 configurations i was wondering about mirrors? Thinkin about pairing it with my spare red and create striped mirror array, until i can replace it with another red or should i just not bother and wait for a new red?
Sorry about my english :) hope you can make sense of it.
Best regards
