I'm not confident with ZFS terminology, but here goes:
I have one TimeMachine Pool:
Then a single RAIDZ1 with 5x 4TB external USB3 drives connected via a powered TP-Link hub.
I'm aware this is suboptimal on a couple of fronts;
• USB Drives
• 5x drives in a RAIDZ1
• Standard RAM, not ECC
But the drives are what I had, and the 7060 Micro was super cheap ex-lease. I grabbed cheap used 32GB RAM from a local forum connection.
After seven months it's been super reliable, no issues.
I run 2x 515GB mirrored USB-C Samsung SSD drives as a VM-Pool, which is where I store my Linux VMs.
My Linux VMs run database backups, my Dashy Dashboard, a few Docker containers and general dev-ops experiments.
The 7060 itself has 32GB RAM and boots from mirrored 256GB internal SSD/NVME drives.
I should probably do a Blog post on the utility of Ex-Lease Dell Micros over going Raspberry Pi or similar. I'm a huge fan :-)
