Hi
My HDD config today:
Parity:
4TB
----------------------------
Drives:
4TB
128GB SSD (Win10VM)
----------------------------
cache:
128GB SSD
128GB SSD
----------------------------
new drives I will add:
8TB
2TB
To this day, I've just been using the 2 x 4TB for Downloads, but I don't really need redundance for this data. (P.S: I do not use cache for downloads-share)
Therefore I would like to still have the 2 x 4TB with parity, and add an 8TB and 2TB and use those two for Plex and Downloads.
Is it posible to have parity to just some drives in the array?
I could also use the 8TB for redunancy and have two 4TB and 2TB for plex and all my other stuff.
Is it ok to have 1 x 8TB in parity for 2 x 4TB and 1 x 2TB ?
What do you guys recommend?
