We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

BTRFS RAID or AMD-RAID (from motherboard) ? (alien.top)

Hello

I'm building a machine that will run kubernetes to store my data via nextcloud. I have 3 SSDs. One of 1TB for the system and two of 4TB for my data. On these two 4TO SSDs I want to make a RAID1 and now I have the option of either using the RAID mode of my motherboard (AMD-RAID Hardware) Asrock B650M Pro RS. Or create a software RAID1 via BTRFS (from Arch Linux).

How do I know if the hardware RAID is right? What do you recommend?

Definitely not motherboard RAID. However, why not MDRAID (old but gold) or ZFS (protection against bit rot plus all the other sweet features like snapshots etc.)?
