Good day to all.
I am trying to setup a new trunas system. I'm running an r720 server 96g ram. Hba card (sorry forget off hand which one) and 5 netapp ds4243's. Each netapp shelf is populated with 24 600gb 15k sas drives, and OM3 controllers. My plan is to power up only the shelves I need for now and then power up additional shelves as my storage needs increase. I will have a few sata ssd drives in the r720 for boot/cache drives as well.
I'm familiar with raid 0/1/5 as well as unraid, however I can't seem to figure out the best setup with truenas.
I think I want to run raidz2 for my nas as I do not currently have any off site or on site backups for my data. My plan is to run a pool for my nas, a pool for my plex server and a pool for vm general storage. After doing some research, I'm thinking of doing two vdev's of 12 drives per shelf of 24 drives for the nas. My goal is for good redundancy to prevent any data loss but still have r/w speeds. The nas should have a balanced r/w speed.
The plex server I am not overly concerned with redundancy but should have a high read speed for smooth streaming.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
