Could I have please some advice for storage devices.
- ESXi boot:
single USB Stick: good? change that??
- OmniOS VM storage:
planned: Mirror SSD (which model/type????)
- other VM storage (pfsense, web server, streaming servers):
ZFS 2way (or 3way?) Mirror: which disks?? SSD?? spindle??
- storage: video, music, data, one postgresql for owncloud:
proposed: 2way (or 3way?) 3TB WD RED mirror with one ARC drive: which SSD for ARC???
This is for home use and my main concern is detecting HW failure early enough to do something about it and to some extent power consumption. I will add off site backup afterwards.
I do have already have one Samsung 830 and one WD 3TB drive. Everything else needs to be purchased new....
Thanks!
Martin
