I have a clustered 2-node 3U supermicro running Server 2016. There are 16 Direct Attached Storage drive slots, 14 are 4TB sas HDD, 2 are enterprise sas SSDs (boot drive is a satadom on each node). I'd like one large volume for a general purpose file server.
How should I provision the storage pool?
I've played around with different allocations and everything seems to work fine - but I'd like to know the 'best' way. Ideally, the SSDs are the caching tier for the rest of the HDDs and all data is mirrored (I'm thinking two-way, but three-way actually might even be better).
