  • Start googling. Hardware or Software based? How techy are you? RAID should not be considered for backup. Think of it as an individual drive. Still needs a backup. Personally I use a ZFS pool in my Linux homelab that’s been rock solid. However the pucker factor would be high if a drive fails.

    1. Depends on how you set them up. There are calculators online that can estimate this for you.

    2. I used NAS drives bc they’re expected to be spinning a lot.

    3. No. You will see better performance on average compared to your slowest drive.

    4. I have no relevant experience with specific hardware. For a general base of knowledge figure out what RAID type you want to use. Look at what ZFS or btrfs can do in this space. Same for unraid.
