Hey guys,
As the title says, I will be using 3 x 1TB drives and one SSD for L2ARC. I'm looking to get the fastest read throughput. I'm a bit confused obviously, can you mirror the 1TB data on all 3 drives? So in the end, your system only has 1 TB of storage capacity instead of 3TB?
Does this involve striping or do I bypass striping altogether? My reasoning is that if I'm doing file serving and the same data is redundantly stored on all 3 drives, the IOPS should be 3 times as much.
Also take note that I am not really worried about data backup, I've got that covered, so any data redundancy is purely for performance reasons.
