i bought two disk shelves, 48 drive capacity between them, gonna be a expensive to populate but all told it should net me about 160TB raw capacity.
Why not just buy some bigger drives instead of so many? Are you really going to populate with 48x 3-4TB drives?
That's an inefficient use of electricity, heat and money.
I read somewhere about larger drives not being well suited for zfs pools, because of the amount of maintenance activity on that storage scheme it takes longer to do on larger drives, and they take a lot longer to replace/resilver if a drive needs to be replaced.
I’m still going with 18tb drives in my zfs pool though 🤷🏻♂️
