In this case, the majority of my income depends on the edit server being online (thus the decision to go basically RAID10 + hot spare). I have a full backup plus an offsite copy, but they are over 2.5 Gbps on spinning disk, or take 6+ hours to restore from offsite, so they're emergency use only.
I'm also trying to get my homelab set up to be a bit more robust / automated / reproducible, and trying out a bunch of different ideas. I'll likely settle on something else in a year's time, but the main motivation for now was to get all the storage into my rack on my 10 Gbps network.
- dylan604 4y agoI've felt the pain of everything you're experiencing. I've managed storage pools with 48 individual drives of spinning rust. Originally, for the lulz, we striped all 48 as RAID0 just to see the speeds essentially saturating the bus. We then reconfigured to 4 arrays with 16 drives each into RAID6, then striped those into RAID60. We started playing with removing a few drives from each array as hot spares. At one point when I was younger, that was all fun. Now, I just want it to work so I can go back to having a life and let others do all the experimental stuff. But now I get to live vicariously through people like you posting their results. Good stuff!
