I have a Dell PowerEdge T620 (Dual E5-2640 Procs, 48GB of RAM) server running 2 x 256gb SSD's in Raid 1 which is currently storing Hyper-V Server 2016 OS and 6 VM's. One of those VM's is a Plex Server. I then have 6 x 2TB HDD's in Raid 10 for file and media storage. What is the best method to present the Raid 10 array to my Plex Server?
Should I just create an smbshare via PowerShell on the Hyper-V host and map the drive on my Plex server or should I create a fixed VHD set (using all 6 TB) and connect it to my VM's? Plex is running on Server 2016 by the way.
Also, what about ReFS vs NTFS for the Raid 10? I understand ReFS significance in VM storage compared to NTFS but what about just file/media storage in this scenario?
