I thought you want to expand to 8 disks though
i do
@futuremoe yes raid is NOT a backup
Once you have 8 disks, Raid6 is nicer than 10
Except for writing speed
when you say you had second disks fail during rebuild
did you ever scrub your arrays
hmmm
Nvm I misread
Did you ever = yes
How often = not enough
Still I wouldn't risk it
raidz3
or gtfo
yeah let me just throw 24 TB away
I'm still for Raid6 here
so I need another server to backup my server?
are synology servers as trash as I think they are?
synology is overpriced hardware with a shitty UI
Yep
but it works if you dont want to fuck around
yes and yes
i meant ui not io lol
You could just encrypt your entire NAS and put it on Azure archive storage. They're a few $/tb as long as you don't access it @futuremoe
That's basically storage tape as a service
azure is €0,0017 per GB, aws is €0,004 per GB
cold storage
Cheap af but takes a day to access. Tho I would encrypt everything before uploading it because it's Microsoft
Yeah that's 1.75€/TB
but you pay out the ass for data retrieval
Yes but that's just for emergency
I think it's ok for backups
Let's say you need it once every 3-4 years
archive storage is fine. what's the difference between hot/cold?
Hot = expensive to store, cheap to access
Cold = cheap to store, expensive to acceas
Hot is for your little files that you need every day, cold is for backups
and archive is cool on steroids?
Yes
Iirc the cheapest plan of azure for archiving has one day of latency to access a file
it would be 10 € a month for 5TB archive
Like, you have to request a day in advance
that's fine it's mostly my blu ray rips
