So if it crashes for a day or two and is barely accessible during restore, it's not a big deal?
single parity disk is fine for me right now
and 3 data disks for 24TB effective
Then go Raid6 anyway
raid6 is two parity disks
Yes believe me
I've had the second disk failing during a restore way too often in my life
if i go raid6 with 4 disks i might as well go raid10
same effective space and a way better solution
`Or are you using raid as a backup? (don't)`
w-what senpai
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
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
And a shitty UI
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
