Hey Everyone,
I am using my Pi4 as a controller for a 4-slot NAS bay.
At the moment it is as follows:
1. 4 TB drive - for data
2. empty
3. empty
4. 2 TB drive - Time machine drive for my Mac
My 4TB drive is almost full, so I need to get more space. Since I am going to be doing this, I figured I might want to introduce some redundancy. I was thinking of adding 2x 4TB drives. I think I can get 8gb of space, and redundantcy. I could be wrong.
What raid would be ideal? I have never done a raid before, so I am not sure what is best.
I am also open to other suggestions
