Happy Drivepool user here. Have 40TB raw. Currently Drivepool is my home "production".
Drivepool is about to become backup for Freenas. I"m looking for ways to increase the throughput moving data from Freenas to Drivepool across 10GbE.
Consider these two hypothetical scenarios. Will either of these allow two copy jobs in parallel to write at the speed of two disks? Assuming a single disk will sequential write at 150MB, I'm looking to write at 300MB.
SCENARIO 1 - single pool with two folders
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pool Z with 4 disks
File placement options set for /ISO folder to use disk 1,2
File placement options set for /MKV folder to use disk 3,4.
SCENARIO 2 - two pools each having 1 folder
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pool Y with 2 disks storing /ISO
Pool Z with 2 disks storing /MKV
