Hello, good morning.
In general, I’m going to see how the node behaves as I’ve configured it now, and as I still have a little more space available, if I see it filling up very quickly, I’ll be able to expand it. I don’t know if here in Valencia (Spain) it will be optimal to have the node because of what you say about the location, but well, that is to wait with time to see what happens.
As for RAID 5, I can’t do anything right now, because I think this server (although the card supports RAID 6) can’t run a RAID 6 as I was informed in the official HPE forum. Although I don’t understand it.
