My memory is hazy now but there was something weird/screwy about the previous gen Microserver ... like, you couldn't use all four SATA drives at the same time as booting from the onboard ? Or something ?
How is the gen10 ? Can I use all four SATA drives for my raid array but still have a SSD/m.2 boot drive ?
- gorgoiler 6y agoI actually never took mine apart to put the SSD in the top slot, I only know it’s possible. (There is an additional mounting kit to support it on the Gen10.) For me, three mirrored ZFS 4TB drives are all I needed for my local storage to be available and resilient. The fourth SATA slot is the SSD in a cradle. My long term bet for safety is offline USB mirrors on-site, Borg off-site to rsync.net (thanks!) and tarsnap off-site for the smaller stuff. Maybe one day I’ll be brave and use ZFS to mirror the content to rsync.net? I haven’t upgraded beyond ZoL 0.7 yet but if I did can I replicate an encrypted pool to you without giving you the keys?
