I have grown to love OMV so much that I want to make it my primary NAS in my house. That said, my question is that I want to buy drives, but get the largest I can reasonably afford. I want to buy 3x good drives today knowing I can expand / grow in the future. I was trying to find instructions on how to grow the array but am not finding anything that is giving me the warm and fuzzies. If I see instructions on how to expand / grow, I would see which RAID 5 or ZFS or something else is the way to go.
I have a DS1813+ and growing the array is quite easy. Unfortunately, the device is long in the tooth and it takes a while for it to do anything. If I am building from the ground up, knowing I will add disks to the array I build, what is the best and or easiest way to go?
