Hi all,
After defining the HW to use I have a question related to zpool design.
Will use for this setup: 4x 4TB wd red & from the old NAS 4x 2TB Seagate green.
By definition, a pool is made up of one or more vdevs, which themselves can be a single disk or a group of disks. Based on this statement is it recommended to have a setup like this:
zpool1= RAIDZ0 containing 2x 2TB old Seagate drives
zpool2= RAIDZ2 containing 4x 4TB red + zpool1
zpool3= mirror
Concerns:
- mixing different drives will affect performance?
- old ones can die faster
- the main goal is to get RAIDZ2 for the main zpool
- can zpool1 be used only for parity?
thank you
