Having some second thoughts about certain aspects of this build.
1. Rather than using RAIDZ2 with one cold spare, I'm thinking of keeping that spare warm so I can resilver remotely. Or should I simply go RAIDZ3? How much does performance suffer?
2. Any way of getting 11 drives in a Define R4 (is the 2x5" box big enough for 3x3.5"?) or must I get something like the R2 XL monster?
3. Are there any issues of splitting drive manufacturers three ways WD/Seagate/Hitachi? (The later are more expensive but the Backblaze report suggests they /might/ be better.)
