Hey legends!
Just wanting everyones opinions on my nas build and if im going overboard or what raidz should I run ect
Current parts OS: truenas Case: Silverstone CS330 Mobo: Dell T3620 Tower mobo CPU: E3-1225v5@3.3 Ram: 32GB ECC non registered PSU: Seasonic SFX Gold 650W HDD: 7x 8tb seagate ironwolf nas drives Boot M.2 drive: corsair P3 500tb SSD: x3 crucial 2tb sata Network card: Intel X540-T2 10G Dual RJ45 HBA: DELL H310 Graphics card: 1660 super
Basically a bit stuck on what to do for storage with the HDDs either raidz 1 or 2
And ill be running another raid z1 pool with the SSDs for apps on truenas plus NFS storage for either steams games or photos that I’m editing
I also don’t think I will be running a mirror on the boot drive as backing things up regularly will be my fail safe
Lmk if im going wrong or right anywhere any opinions welcome
Much love xx
How much storage are you looking at?
I’ve been trying to recommend Z1 for up to four drive arrays and Z2 for five to eight.
And no need to mirror your boot drive.
7 8tb nas drives raidz1 or raidz2 (haven’t made up my mind)
3 2tb ssds (raidz1)
Both in their own pools
