I hope this is the right sub-forum. Forgive me if its not.. I havn't been able to find an answer anywhere yet.
I set up small-medium sized businesses with file servers up to 70TB but I've recently gotten the opportunity to offer 1PB servers to a larger client.
Ive always used RAID 0,1 and subsequently 10, with FreeNAS but this client requires RAID 100.
First question is - Can FreeNAS create 4 RAID 10 arrays and then a RAID 0 array from them to make RAID 100?
Second question is - Can FreeNAS even be installed on the type of supermicro unit that is required for this level of storage?
Here's the chasis I need to use
https://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847DE1C-R2K04JBOD
I'll be using 80 WD 12TB SATA drives. I'd like to create 4 RAID 10 arrays that are 20TB each and then RAID 100 all 4 of them together.
Is this possible with FreeNAS?
Really looking for immediate answers. This could be a very big break in my work and I need to know whether or not I need to find a different solution.
(This is file server use only - Simply mapping drives to local storage)
Any information is much appreciated!
Thanks!
