Hi,
after installing OMV and several plugins, I like to know what you would recommend as file format for my RAID pool?
I learned that ZFS will come but should I think about it? What about the different data, I do have many movies/ pictures as well.
What file format should I go for?
regards

Nobody any idea, or where can I find some guide's? What kind of RAID should I use RAID1 or RAID10?
If only two drives... Just keep the drives independent (ie.. No raid) and set up some rsync jobs to mirror the data between the two drives.
But when I like to get more storage installed then I think it's better to start with RAID.
That's right, but with only two drives your possibilities are very limited. Raid 0 or JBOD and Raid 1 are possible, for Raid 10 you need a minimum of four drives. Raid 10 is something I use in corporate environments for the sake of resilience, but not at home because the useable space is only half of the overall capacity of the drives.
I would take my hands on another 2 TB drive and build a Raid 5 which is expansible up to the end of your money. If that's not possible then do it like KM suggested but in that case you have to move your data away if Raid comes into game.
Can I use different HDD's or should it be the same, but the actual once are Samsung ECO green, can I use some other brand?
Yes you can use different brands as long as they have the same size. I wouldn't mix up drives with very different capabilities, i.e. standard SATA drives with 7200rpm and drives with higher (Or lower) speeds.
In a corporate environment I always use the same brand and type of drives with the same firmware for better performance and stability.
Just installed a third HDD with 2 TB and what file format should I use then? What is the recommended one also seen in the perspective that I like to use ZFS? EXT 4 or EXT 3 or a different one?
