Win Server 2012 - Essentials; best disk use?

$

Hey guys,

I'm replacing my WHS v1 with Windows Server 2012 Essentials and have the following kit:

I3 with 4gig RAM

6 SATA 2 slots on the mobo

3x 2TB disks

3x 3TB disks (sadly, SATA 3 but no way to use this with the mobo - the BIOS will recognise 3tb so I'm assuming WS2012 64bit will also?)

I'm happy with Parity to protect everything but I'm unsure how I should "partition" these?  Should the drives in a Parity storage pool all be the same i.e. 1 of 9 tb and 1 of 6tb or, can I put them all in the same storage pool and still use ALL the storage space?  Also, what about the O/S? Does this need to be on it's own disk?

Thanks for your help!!!
