Hello,

We're planning 3 hosts, 12 HDDs in each host. Which is the better? If we
set up 1 OSD - 1 HDD structure or create hardware RAID-6 all of 12 HDDs
and only one OSD uses the whole disk space in one host?

I suspect the issue is what you're going to store on it. With 3TB low-end SATA drives & hot spare your OSD filesystem is going to be 27TB. If you plan on storing 10GB vm images you're probably better off with 27 1TB OSDs. Which of course will take 5 times the rack space, 5-10 times the power outlets etc.
