Hey y'all!
I'm nuking my unraid setup and starting over. This is mostly because I am bored and never really used my server for anything meaningful.
I currently have:
- 4 M2 SSDs, 1 tb each
- 2 M2 SSDs, 256 gb each
- 2 3.5" HDD, 4 tb each
I'm going to use the V7 release candidate, and I'm fine with ZFS or anything else "funky". Any suggestions on how I should best set up my drives? Some example usage I had in mind:
- Plex
- Old windows VM (eventually I'll be using a film scanner from the 90s on this)
- Misc. docker containers
- A share for me to store lightroom photo editing files
- A space for me to dump all my old files / access infrequently (could be nextcloud on a docker container, could just be a SMB share
- I anticipate 1/1.5 tb TOTAL data storage, at least for the foreseeable future.
Some thoughts:
- 1 pool with the 4 1tb SSDs
- 1 pool with the 2 256 gb SSD (is there a benefit to making these separate?) → how do I decide what goes on which pool?
- 1 array with 4tb HDD, I'd only use this for local/internal daily snapshots? unless I have a good reason to do otherwise?
p.s. this is my first post on the forum, sorry if it's in the wrong spot <3
Thanks for your opinions!!!!
