You're still trusting one drive with your data, and those ssds can die without warning. You're still in the same risky situation with your data
I really want to get backups I'm just poor tbh
Just remember everything and you dont need a backup
Just don't store anything important and problem solved. Lol ;)
True, it's definitely in the plans to get a NAS with a RAID setup and it may be expedited to nearer in the future than I thought lol
Reject raid, ZFS supremacy
ZFS is essentially a raid implementation. The principle is the same. From what I hear it's probably the most popular implementation right now, and for good reason
It's a fair bit more than that, but yes in a sense it is RAID if you are using it across more than one drive (as you should). You can use ZFS on a single drive though, so it's a middle ground situation.
The main thing is to avoid hardware RAID controllers unless you have a really good reason, and that's generally what most people refer to as RAID. Generally folks are moving to JBOD setups with filesystems like ZFS now though
Ah well, I was not aware that people usually mean hardware when they say raid. Thanks for clearing that up.
Zfs is the way, raid is far from perfect
Raid is a concept, zfs is a type of software raid.
No, perhaps you are refering to zraid, one of the vdev types
yes! @op always have at least 2 copies at a minimum.
if its really valuable data set up some 321 automatic backup.
