Asking advice for home storage configuration
cross-posted from: https://l.antiope.link/post/43914
Hi all. I’m trying to choose a configuration for my home storage. Speed is not a priority, I want a balance of stability and performance. I was thinking of making a raid 6 array with an ext4 file system for 4 disks of 2 TB each. Asking for advice, will this configuration be optimal?
Note - I am going to make a raid array based on external usb drives, which I will plug into the orange pi
You're viewing a single thread.
Raid stopped being optimal now that btrfs and ZFS exist.
If you plan on doing matching drives ZFS is recommended
If you expect mismatched disks, btrfs will work.
If you are most worried about stability get a computer with ECC memory.
If you are most worried about performance, use SSD drives.
If you want a bunch of storage for cheap, use spinning disks (unless you exceed the 100TB capacity range)
