The safest and most flexible option would be to configure the BIOS to not use the RAID controller and just “see” the drives as a regular JBOD, and then setup a ZFS RAID-Z1 array and configure your zvols, etc. in that instead. RAID-Z1 is functionally very similar to old-school RAID-5. There’s virtually no performance penalty with software RAID these days, and you’re eliminating the proprietary RAID controller as a single point of failure.
It’s hard to imagine how an LLM would figure out gate-level performance improvements but I could definitely see a GAN doing that with enough time and effort.
Plus the unlimited data only applies if you’re renting their modem/router ($10/month) and have xfinity WiFi enabled. If you’re using your own hardware unlimited data adds $30/month, which is exactly what it costs today.
