I currently have storage drives as follows:
8tb (2 Drives)
6tb (2 Drives)
1tb (2 Drives)
3tb (1 Drive May purchase an matching 3 tb)
4tb (1 Drive May purchase an matching 4 tb)
Purchasing a case to build my own that holds up to 10 desktop hardrives
What would my best set up be?
Would a Mirror be best? or a z1 or z2 array?
Could I use one of each in an array and then mirror that whole array to the remaining disks? (1 array of a 8tb, 6tb, 4tb, 3tb and 1 tb)
Also how would you move info from one disk to another?
Currently have about 6tb of data on a NAS that is in a RAID 1, that is backed up on to my 6tb drives and my 4tb dirve?
So would the best be to setup up freenas with the 8tb drives and then copy backups to them, then install the 6tb drives, and expand the pools if possible? Once done keep doing the same for each of the other pairs until all installed?
Advice would be greatly appreciated
