Hello all
I will start with info that I'm a beginner with truenas platform and I trying all my best to understand this ecosystem. :)
I will build my first server from an old HP Z220cmt with i7 quad core processor, 16gb ram(for beginning), nvidia quadro k2000.
For a moment I have available one ssd 125gb for OS, one ssd 1tb WD red (for nas dedicated), one 4tb hdd WD gold and one more 2tb seagate hdd.
I know that is better to use same models and same capacity hdd, but on this moment this what I have .
My question is how can I create the pools to have best performance.
Server will be used for Plex streaming most of the time and to backup data like personal photos and video's.
I was thinking to create one single pool vdev from ssd (1tb) plus 2tb hdd for plex movies and the 4 TB hdd another vdev personal data. I know that will be no backup in case of one hdd fail but in the future will come more hdd and maybe I will have enough space for backups.
Thanks for helping and please don't throw with something on me because I'm a completely beginner :D
