So I have 8 drives total. 5x500GB seagate 7200.10 3x300GB seagate 7200.10
I'm trying to decide, would I be better off just creating two separate pools? pool1 = 5x500gb raidz pool2= 3x300gb raidz or would I be better off creating one large pool, with two raid sets? I'm trying to figure out if it would be faster this way since it should be striping across the two pools (from what I understand). On the other hand, the pool of 3 disks is obviously going to be much slower than the pool of 5. In a perfect world I'd just benchmark both ways, but due to some constraints, that may not be possible. Any insight?
