March 22, 20242 yr I'm trying to build from scratch with HDD: 3x20TB, 2x14TB SSD: 4TB, 2TB, 1TB NVME: two slots available What is the best way to configure to have 1) a media only pool (don't care if this is not backed up or on parity. Size ~20TB) 2) a personal file pool (want this backed up with high fault tolerance to protect data, but infrequently accessed. Size ~5TB) 3) a photography pool (backed up. Fast read access from networked PC. ~6TB) 4) a cache pool for docker and plex, either combined or separate (fastest. ~??? TB required?) I have the option to purchase more hard drives to make the format work from the get go I'm looking for help to determine which way to mix/match drives, and zfs vs brtfs vs xfs I am building a PC for this purpose. I will try to have 10Gbe and USB4 capability to add a DAS or something like that down the road if needed. Thank you for your help!!
