Hey, thank you so much for getting back to me, I’ve been researching and learning more about some of the stuff you mentioned, so let me follow-up to the ones I’m still understanding.
I’ve been taking a look and if RAID-Z2 and RAID-6 do make more sense because of even more safety, I’d be definitely willing to go that route. With that said, considering I’d buy the drive enclosure I mentioned, for RAID-Z2 or RAID-6 I believe I’d need 2 enclosures setup as JBOD since it wouldn’t support RAID-Z2 or RAID-6 at the hardware level, so I’d just set it up at the software level, does that make sense? I’d also need one extra for the backup as far as I’m aware, I believe that would make sense?
I don’t have the space for two internal drives, in fact, it’s a laptop I’m setting up to be a server, so the space is very limited, the drive bay itself only supports 2.5 inches drives. Would it be THAT BAD to use a USB enclosure? Are there some evidence regarding that that you know of?
Is any other type that is not SME recommended though? Or just any?
I’m actually very disciplined and I’d be able to run my backups following a set repeating schedule no problem, but like, aren’t there softwares for automating that? I was hoping so.
