Thoughts? Experience? I'm looking at 7200 RPMs for a low cost storage base in a 2.5'' HDD box using zfs for stripped mirrored VDEV's which is apparently similar to RAID10
I figure since I'll let ZFS handle the RAID'ing, I figure may not need to worry about TLER as listed here and here which seem to imply that TLER is only relative to a hardware controller - but I could be wrong. If I dont need that and can trust ZFS, why not? I understand the failure rate but looking to capitalize on storage in the short term
Wondering if anyone has any experience on a tight budget as well
