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
Sounds like a plan. Only optimal if you situation calls for it. Some things to keep in mind, are is software or hardware raid. Also, backups out of this setup would be good. I like snapshotting, so that might be something you might want to think bout.
