I'm building a SAN device to replace the NAS connected off my existing server.
Speed was an issue with ~20-30 clients so switching from 1Gbt to 4Gbt seemed like the best solution.
What would be the best type of way to setup 10x WD NAS red 4TB disks and what is the best raid hba card for this type of setup?
The current setup is a a 4Gbit Fibre channel link to a windows server with 2 locally attached hard disks which according to my understanding are in SCSI block format like JBOD?
being new to enterprise equipment and jargon I'm quite out of my depth with SAN setups.
I was considering using this LSI Logic LSI00208 MegaRAID SAS 9260-16i I'm unsure if this is overkill or not.
I was also wondering the best way to join the disks together whether hardware raid is the best option over client side software raid over the 4Gbt fibre.
I currently have 10 unused 4TB WD NAS and I was wondering the best way to set them up in a SAN.
