I am planning to get this case Rosewill RSV-L4600U 4U and run a server with Unraid on it. This server will run 6 drives (all shucked, none SMR). I also wanted to run a ZFS VM with 8 drives being passed through.
Will the 14 drives running at once in this enclosure cause issues (since these are all shucked and I have read that vibration may cause issues).
My current ZFS host is running in a separate 3U case but I wanted to consolidate everything into a single server. Are there any concerns ?
Yes. Always protect your investment against earthquakes by placing them in a place from which they can not easily fall.
They are two different datasets, with 2 backups for each (not in the same rack). I just don’t like running a ZFS server separately.
