I'm still new to unraid and trying to figure out the best way to setup my drives to run zfs.
Current setup: 4 4TB drives, 2 1TB drives, 1 500GB nvme ssd.
Note: At some point I plan on swapping out the 1TB drives for larger capacity drives.
Opt1: 1 4TB parity drive, 3 4TB array drives, 2 1TB array drives, 500GB nvme drive as cache
Opt2: All drives in pool, except the 500GB nvme as a cache. running as raidz
My question is which of these options would be better for my setup? Should I just exclude the 1TB drives and add the larger drivers to the pool in future? Is there anything I'm failing to consider with these setups or am I going at this completely wrong?
