- dmitryminkovsky 5y agoAmazing. Never knew it had a name. Thanks.
- gunfighthacksaw 5y agoWhen I get my NAS set up that’s the first thing I’m transferring onto it. With RAID 1 of course! uhhhhh losing those files would suck uhuhuhhuhh
- prepend 5y agoRAID5 will help quite a bit with large media collections.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoDepends how large each disk is and how many you've got. At a certain point you're begging to have a disk fail during a week+ rebuild. With a 5 disk array of 8TB disks I wouldn't go fewer than 2 disk redundancy myself. ...oh of course the difficulty of replacing that data is also a factor.
- prepend 5y agoIt’s less of an issue with 5, than 1. With 1 you still have the issue of a disk failing and having to rebuild. But you just have to have more raw and less available. If you have 4 8TB disks set up as a volume in RAID1 or 5, you have the same risk of disk failure affecting the entire volume. But you have 16TB available in RAID1 and 24 in RAID5. You could create two volumes with RAID1 but then data management is more of a hassle, and you could just bump it to 6 drives and have two RAID5 volumes.
