Should we Raid Rock64? - S265 - 04-02-2018 Hi guys, can we run Raid 0 on the Rock64? My current set up is Openmediavault running on the Rock64 with a usb3 -> Sata 111 cable and a 2.5" Seagate 2 TB expansion drive. I am not sure if the Seagate Expansion Drive is known for its reliability, but the price was right. Now I am wondering about the possibility of duplicating the drive and creating a Raid 0 system to help ensure data security. Does anyone run multiple hard drives on the rock? Do you have a raid system? Speed of throughput is not essential as I don't have massive amounts of data, but some data integrity and security would be nice. brian RE: Should we Raid Rock64? - elatllat - 04-05-2018 Use btrfs, zfs, lvm, or mdadm for raid. (btrfs, zfs can actually correct errors unlike normal raid guessing) cryptsetup for security.

I run Rsync every night between the drives creating an almost raid 1. The up side is that I don't have to deal with traditional software raid issues. The down side is that anything added in the last 24h could be lost. As I can live with loosing a movie or two, I accepted that. At the current level of development, I would not feel safe with my data spread over more than 1 drive with Raid 0. RE: Should we Raid Rock64? - ab1jx - 05-27-2018 RAID 0 is no RAID at all. I wouldn't even consider it. RAID 1 is a mirrored pair, but you only get 50% of your original space, the rest goes to redundancy. With the higher numbers and bigger sets of drives the percentage lost to redundancy keeps going down until you run into a speed penalty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID |
