Having 24 drives probably offers some performance advantages, but if you don‘t require them, having a 6-bay NAS with 18TB disks instead woukld offer a ton of advantages in terms of power usage, noise, space required, cost and reliability.
- louwrentius 2y agoI agree, that’s what I would do today if I wanted the same amount of space, as I states in the article.
- foepys 2y agoI'd want more redundancy in that case. With such large HDDs zfs resilver could kill another disk and then you would lose your data.
- prepend 2y ago18TB drives didn’t exist back when this setup was designed. Of course a 3 bay with 128TB drives would also be superior, but this comment only makes sense in a few years.
