Hi everyone,
I have an HP Proliant DL180 G6 that I am wanting to use with Unraid. It's a 12 bay unit, with a P212 Smart Array SAS Controller. I have a P410 on the way as a backup but that will only be here in a few weeks. Anyhow, I have 6x6TB SAS drives coming in today that I want to use in the system along with a pile of 250GB SSDs. I know I can setup the HDDs in individual Raid 0's and then set them up in Unraid like that, however my question is: What would be the best way for me to set them up for use in unraid? A bunch of Raid 0s, or should I do a Raid 5 on the controller with all the drives in it? How does Unraid detect degredation of the array?
The SSDs will be used for cache, however, I am not entirely sure it would be a wise choice to use with the controller. I am having a hard time finding out if it supports TRIM or not.
If anyone has a similar setup, I would be greatly appreciative of any advise. I am looking forward to starting my Unraid adventure this weekend.
Cheers!
