Optimum Hard Drive Configuration


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am not an expert but this looks good to me, assuming all drives are of the same RPM/cache specifications (I believe it is best to assign "faster"/more robust hard drives to parity).

 

And also maybe you can consider using your 2 5.5TB drives to have dual parity. That would of course reduce your usable array size but in your current configuration, that spare 4.5TB drive would only be useful if you need to replace your other 4.5TB anyway.

 

Edit: I realise that you may intend to use one of the enclosure's trays for the 2.5" SSD cache drive, so the above may be irrelevant. 

 

Best
