March 5, 20251 yr 4x4TB Array -- 2x4TB Parity -- 4x256 SSD Cache What is the best configuration for home storage of backups, movies, and pictures? Last version I tested had shares that could use both array and cache, but not with version 7? What allocation method? XFS or ZFS? Do I need 2 parity disks? Averaging about 45-50 MB/s from USB3. Mobo has 6 sata and pcie gen3 card has another 6. Jonsbo N3 has 8 x 3.5 drive bays and room for another 4 ssd.

Not sure what you mean, you can still use both, and now you can also use pools as primary and secondary storage. 20 hours ago, Riehmc said: Averaging about 45-50 MB/s from USB3. This is normal for the array with default write mode, you can get better performance with turbo write or using a pool instead of the array.
March 6, 20251 yr Author I looked at #switching-the-pool-to-multi-device-mode but don't see this as an option? Any chance I can keep my data intact that is on the array now? Or can i move it all to a current parity disk once i remove from array? Then do reverse and add back as parity Edited March 6, 20251 yr by Riehmc
