i have no idea what that is lmao

mdadm is raid management and monitoring software what is qutie nice

he pretty much suggested software based raid system

not hardware based

gay

then ofc there is option for raid 6 madness what has most fault-tolerance :D

and requires 4 drives minimn

well, raid 6 is pretty equal to raid10

and but yeah im not a person to answer this question with enough knowledge

raid5/6 has a lot of write overhead because of parity

and they're slower to restore because of parity calculations

hence the 4 drives

4head

raid5 has a high chance of failure when one disk fails and you try to rebuild the matrix

that's a meme anyways

people quote the absolute maximum error rate for that

if your disk is at that point it was already dead anyways

doesnt the rebuild fail completely if one error occurs?

yes

sucks

not gonna risk it then

but think about it

that means

where i work i'm not too sure how it works, but we run weekly full scans of all data for integrity

those haven't failed during the 2 years i was there

looks like a shitload of reads

meanwhile people on reddit keep going on about how if you read an entire 8tb disk for a rebuild it's basically a guaranteed 100% chance of URE

hmm

i'll think about it when i decide to expand

i have to think about it now <:pepeturt:499291994649133067>

3tbx2 on raid1 seems enough for now

with a cheapo card

just copying over the data from the 5 disks out of my old PC onto my new NAS will fill about 8TB

yeah raid 1 or 1+0 is decent solution for most "backup" needs

your NAS should not need "speed" over "security" anyway

i plan on upgrading to 10gbit <:thinkturt:498925089224654859>

hayai

the 120MB/s i'm getting over gigabit is lame

😂

i should upgrade my router from 100mbit to some cheap 1gbit mikrotik

how do you live with that
