Hey, I have a PC right now and it has 2 drives , 1 2TB, and 1 4TB, i ended up losing the data on the 2 TB since it wouldn't even boot up, and couldnt anything about it, so I just replaced with another 2 TB, and the 4 TB i also ended up losing data, but luckily i recovered most of it, still using the same 4 TB drive. It was a real pain trying to recover the data on the drives and I dont want to go through that again. So I thought of a solution, and need your opnions on it, if it seems reasonable or not.

 

I am planning to buy a 4 Bay NAS, and 2 X 3 TB WD RED Drives and run them in RAID 1, and buy 2 X 4TB RED Drives and also run them in RAID 1, and just add a 1TB SSD in my rig. Is this a good solution or are there better ones ?

What will you be using the storage for? Game installation, media storage, etc.

 

Also, will all four drives be in the NAS? Or will the two 4TB drives be in your rig?
