Hi, with ZFS you dont need a raid card, ZFS will handle the drives on its own. However, if you are mirroring, the performance improves if both drives are on different controllers. Any controller supported by OI will do well for that purpose. I guess any PCI-E will do the job. A setup could be like

Howdy Gabriel, That's a pretty awesome guide. I dare say you've sold me on the ECC memory (once I can find it in suppliers around AU) but it's a shame I'm limited in the space I've got and need to stick with the mini-itx form factor and for the life of me don't think a motherboard supports EC

G'day So the hdd makers are pushing out 4k drives, but are failing miserably by emulating 512bit sectors to the OS. My understanding is that OI supports 4k sectors – as long as the drive reports this natively. But since all new 4k drives – as far as I'm aware – does an 512bit emulation, the

Long ago, drives allowed jumper selecting any of several sector sizes (e.g. 512 to 4096 or 8192 in powers of two).  Then the PC came along w/ a large market and things settled on 512 byte hardware sectors.  Over the years we've told the software an assortment of lies to get around  our lack of p
