Hive
Overview
FreeNAS provides storage via Pools. A pool is a bunch of raw drives gathered and managed as a set. My pools are one of these:
- single drive: no FreeNAS advantage other than health checks
- raid1 pair: mirrored drives give normal write speeds, fast reads, single-fail redundancy, costs half of storage potential
- raid0 pair: fast writes, normal reads, no redundancy, no storage cost
- raid of multiple drives: FreeNAS optimization of read/write speed, redundancy, storage potential
Hardware
LSI 8-drive SAS board passed through proxmox to hive as "PCI Device":
