minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoI plan on having a raid of 5 drives and a hot spare, with a cold spare next to the NAS. I am considering 8/10 TB drives, I currently have less than 10 TB of data in my archive. What are the advantages of the different raid z leves?
minus-squareQ The Misanthrope @startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 days agoDisks that can fail. I can lose 2 and be okay. That gives me time to swap in my spare or order a new one.
