New System Advice.


Recommended Posts

Hello, I am re-doing my unRAID system and need some advice about storage.

I have an HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 Entry Intel G1610T at the moment with 16GB RAM a Xeon CPU and a fair amount of storage.

I shall dissasembble this and move some of the gear to a larger Phantek Case with a NVIDIA GTX 1060, 32GB RAM, an Asrock SSI-EEB Dual Socket Motherboard with twin Xeon CPUs (Xeon E5-2670).

 

I have 2 questions:

 

A: Do I need 2 Parity disks ?

 

B: I have 2 Samsung 850 EVO SSDs, should I use these for cache disks or would it be bettter/safer with 2 X 1TB spinning HDDs ?

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.
