Good morning (for me anyway),
I currently have a DS1821+ configured as follows:
8 drives 4 x 8TB, 4 x 16 TB, SHR-2, BTFS
The 4 x 16Tb drives replaced 4 x 8Tb drives which remain perfectly serviceable.
My question:
- Do we think its better to eventually replace the remaining 4 x 8TB drives with 4 x 24TB drives and keep leapfrogging sets (whilst only having 8 drives; OR
- Perhaps purchase a DX517 and populate that with the currently idle 4 x 8Tb drives?
Regards,
Mark
Are there any performance considerations with spreading the pool across two devices, etc.?
