Hi Guys,
I currently have WB Red 4TBs, 6 disk RAIDZ2 config and I want to add an additional 2 disks and will be reconfiguring the array. It a home server with lab so space is a requirement. I'm thinking of either building:
Option 1 - 1 vdev of 8 disk RAIDZ2
Option 2 - 2 vdevs of 4 disk RAIDZ1
Option 3 - 3 vdevs of 3 disk RAIDZ1
Expansion would be nice, therefore option 3 is appealing (but my HBA is a 9211-i8) and I would need an additional HBA. Rebuild time is a concern for option 1, but I like the simple 2 disk parity.
Suggestions are welcome.
