I am planning to set-up two Truenas Scale configurations as a file/photo/AV1 media server in a CS382b case (Jonsbo N5 is viable SATA when it ships in October) and a Corsair SF850L power supply each with Nine Seagate Mach.2 drives SAS or Sata partitioned into two drives. I would set-up two 6+2 RAIDZ2 pools. I would have hot swap drive with two partitions. If a drive fails then a single volume in each pool would need to be replaced by one of the volumes on the hot swap drive. Will this work?
If I go Sata, I would use either:
1) CWWK i3-N305 Purple board with Intel Arc A380 low profile card (It required PCIex8 bu tonlu has x4), or
2) CWWK 8845HS 9-bay NAS card.
3) new CWWK Q670 board with SFF-8643 PCIe x4 and a T series Intel CPU if I can source them.
Do you have a recommendation between them ?
If I go SAS, I would use motherboard #2 or #3 with LSI 9207-8i PCIex8 card and have the Hot swap drive connected by Sata. Is there a better mITX board, or is mATX necessary?
