Expand raid, new raid or new system

Hi

  1. TrueNAS-12.0-U8 on HP ProLiant DL80 Gen9 12 LFF 2U:
    raid 10 of 6 disks of 10 TB each.
  2. There is a system unit with a regular motherboard Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0, 6 disks of WD Red of 2 TB each.
    I am thinking of transferring WD Red of 2 TB each to the HP ProLiant DL80 server and creating a separate raid 10 or 5 purely iSCSI for the Proxmox cluster.
    The question is, what would you advise?
  3. Will the two arrays work well separately? 2. Or expand the existing raid 10. (But the disks are of different capacities).
  4. Install TrueNAS on a regular system unit with Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 (Probably not a very reliable solution)
    Sorry for the Google translator

Please move the topic to General.

That is CORE but you want to do expansion and that is in SCALE

make sure that they are not SMR.

…your hardware is quite old.

On the fear that you may brake something, I rather you build the new NAS with that motherboard and those 2TB disks.
Otherwise I believe you’re gonna brake what you have.

Expand raid, new raid or new system. That is my advise.
