Changing my home storage and I have some spare drives I'm wondering if I'm not better off using them.
Wondering too if anything has changed with how I should be doing things.
System: DIY build with--> TrueNAS, Intel 9100F, 16 or 32GB, mirror SSD for boot\os.
ZFS Config: RaidZ3
Use case:
I'm currently using 8x10TB HGST enterprise drives but am wondering if I should just use the other 2 or 3 I have for 10x10TB or 11x10TB and how this would work with RZ3, and if it's a concern for the overall setup in regard to: 1) size of rz3 and 2) number of drives utilized for rz3. As you can tell from my use-case list above sequential performance is what's important to me. I can of course get 1 more drive if I need that number of drives to make sense but feel like I'm getting up there in size for a single pool.
Thoughts?
