Hi everyone
Pretty much had it with drobo support and am planning on dumping my drobo nas.
Need some advice on an unraid nas i am building specs are as follows
Mobo asrock rack avoton c2750
Mem 4x 8gb crucial ecc ram
Seasonic 850w psu
3u Rack case with 16 bays an 4 internal bays
Nas use is primarly for storing media and photos to be accsessed by 2 kodi boxes and one or 2 tablets and notebooks.
I know alot people use and recomend WD red drives and thats what i have been using in my drobos but what are peoples opinon on seagates iron wolf drives? I only ask as the 10tb iron wolf drives have dropped in price a bit.
Also my plan is to use 2x 10tb drives as parity drives and 4x10tb drives and over time add more hdd's as i go a long. The manual makes it seem like a fairly simple process to add drives, is this the case?
I also have different sized ssd's 120gb, 250gb and 500gb id it ok to mix and match diffrent ssds for cache drives?
If end up using all the on board sata connections which pcie card would be recomrnded for use for cache and parity drives?
Thanks
