Questions about upgrading my Pi4 NAS and Plex Media Server
Go to solution
Solved by Electronics Wizardy,
Software raid won't have a big performance hit, it takes very little cpu power, and the pi will be able to run it just fine. Id just get a second usb drive.
ALso the hardware raid on those usb boxes normally isn't great, so id stay away from those.
And if you want to keep your data safe, you want backups, not raid. Backups are much better at keeping your data safe than raid.
3 minutes ago, DrMacintosh said:y question is, would configuring this box in RAID 0 produce any problems for a Raspberry Pi? I'm assuming I would be able to just mount the drive(s) (it should just show up as 1 drive since RAID 0,
Well raid 0 will double your chance of drive failure as if either drive dies you lose all the data. You would probalby want raid 1 here.
