34 minutes ago, Niksa said:FreeNAS uses ZFS (RAID-Z). The way it works is different than RAID but generally speaking, in terms of redundancy it is like this:
RAID-Z1 = RAID 5 (1 disk can die without data loss)
RAID-Z2 = RAID 6 (2 disks can die without data loss)
RAID-Z3 = RAID 7 (3 disks can die without data loss)
It strips parity bytes across the array. It is not stripping like RAID0 where in the case of the single drive failure you loose all the data.
Also, I've managed to expand the pool without issues even in the old versions.
You could do that in the old ones so I don't see why you would be unable to do in Corral
Btw, my suggestion is before doing anything, prepare a virtual setup in Virtual Box or similar and install FreeNAS and/or UnRAID there and explore the features.
Oh Nice, the VB sounds like a good idea will give it a go!
