Cheers thank you, one system I’m just burning in now is a 11 drive system, 1 x ssd is, 8 x for the pool, with 1 hot spare, and 1x 760gb as a cache drive for vms , and a 1.5tb drive for Vm;s . 2x nic GBE . The performance is stunning. For additional sata ports I used a £26 pci-e 8 port sata card, as board had 6 on board.
supprising the 6 core cpu and 12gb ram.
Todays burn test will involve.
5 PC’s
1x MAC Air
1x MAC Pro
all backing up 60gb group of mixed files 3 times over....
next nas nas will be full SSD, but will take approx a month to validate, 12 1tb ssd + 1 cache + 1 log !
‘’Thanks for the input.
