What would be the most optimal setup for
6x 2TB drives (already have thoses)
2x or 3x 4TB drives (will be buying them)
Should I favor same size VDEV by mixing vdev type (mirror/raidz/raidz2):
4TB: raidz (3x2TB )
4TB: raidz (3x2TB )
4TB: Mirror (2x4TB )
or should I favor same type VDEV, and have an unbalanced Pool?
2TB: Mirror( 2x2TB )
2TB: Mirror( 2x2TB )
2TB: Mirror( 2x2TB )
4TB: Mirror( 2x4TB )
or even play with number of drive within a vdev:
8TB: raidz2 ( 6x2TB )
8TB: raidz1 ( 3x4TB )
This is kinda a tricky one, worst case I can always create two pool but I would loose in striping over vdev performance.
Thanks you.
