So, I decided to gift myself some storage this Christmas.
- 2 x 20TB Seagate Exos X22 20TB HDD from Serverpartdeals (HDD year 2024)
- 1 x 4TB Kingston Fury Renegade NVMe (4000 TBW)
- 1 x 4TB Crucial T700 NVMe (2400 TBW)
Going to retire my old, trusty MegaRAID 9271-8i card, currently running two arrays (5 x 16TB RAID5 and 3 x 18TB RAID5).
I purchased a 9361-8i card and the cables, I already purchased 3 x 20TB drives, once these 2 drives arrive, I'll make a 5 x 20TB RAID 5 array, and re-purpose the 5 x 16TB drives for offline storage. Once I save some more money, I'll get three more 20TBs and make an 8 x 20TB RAID 6 array.
NVMe SSDs are going inside the system, one of them will retire an old 500GB NVMe drive.
This is my plan so far, would love to hear what you think, and if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear it.
