Ok, some details are in order.
I am finally zero in on my final setup for a home vm/file server.
Just have a couple of questions about system drive setup.
1. What your take on using ssd as system drive?
Keep in mjnd this is a home server. Not production or very important stuff. Some down time is acceptable .
2. What your take on using ssd in raid1 config for system drive?
3. Same as #2 but regular hdd?
I plan to run open media vault 2.2.3 as main host. With a snapraid+mergefs.
I found a way to run it on raid1 mdadm raid.
So what should it be?
2 hdd in raid1
1 hdd only
2 ssd in raid1
1 ssd only.
Please give your thoughts on best way to go.
Thanks.
Ps. The system drives will be on mb sata ports the data on pcix controllers.
