I'm building home NAS, it will be SM case with SAS2 backplane. I already have some SATA drives I'm going to put into one pool. But I'm looking to build new pool with newer and potentially better drives. I was thinking WD Reds
But now I see I can get SAS drives for very close price. What will it give me if I go with SAS? Will the be faster? More reliable? Will this pool conflict with other SATA pool?
I plan to use FreeNAS/ZFS with those drives.
