Software RAID in NAS Server
Go to solution
Solved by Atlantisman,
Thanks both for the input.
I think I'd prefer RAID 5 as it offers more than sufficient performance and redundancy with more available storage than RAID 10. Thanks for the additional info about Freenas, I will look into it further.
Would just like to ask you expand more on point 1 if possible. Does this mean I will have the option do perform a config backup of Freenas, save it externally and restore it later if the flashdrive fails?
Yes, you will have the option to do config backups in freenas. Also the freenas equivalent to RAID5 is ZFS RAID-Z, functionally the same thing as raid 5 but everything is handled in the background by freenas, and this is why you need quite a bit of RAM to run freenas effectively.
EDIT: typo.
