Kreavan Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I've got the following drives to work with and wanted to see if this would be an ideal setup. x4 - Western Digital Red 8tb hard drives x2 - Western Digital Red 4tb hard drives x2 - Samsung EVO 860 1tb SSDs My thought is to use the four 8tb and one 4tb drives as a storage array with one 8tb as a parity. This would be primarily used for media and file storage. The use the two 1tb SSD drives as a mirror array using one as a parity. This would be used for Dockers, VMs, and Plex metadata. Then use the last 4tb drive as a temporary download cache and transcoding drive. Would this type of setup be ideal? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
