New server - paralysis of options?

I would suggest it is time to add another 6 disk VDev to each of your servers. Or even switch to a pair of 8-way!

This means you would want to move the mother board into a bigger case.

Perhaps a 24 bay case.

You would want to add an LSI SAS HBA.

Here’s a link to the build report of my 24 bay system I built back in 2017 :wink:

(Still going strong)
