I want to build a machine for my daughter. She does a lot of video editing. I want to use Windows Storage Spaces in parity (3 disks in a RAID5 equivalent) for her main working storage.
We have a large FreeNAS array for archival storage. The array in her PC would only be for working storage until her projects are done.
From what I have read, Storage Spaces is really horrible at parity storage using just the spinning disks.
As I understand it, I can use an SSD as a cache to speed it up, but understanding all of that is a bit above my level of expertise.
So, assuming I want to build an array using Storage Spaces for video editing, how do I get the best performance out of it?
