Hello guys,I have an HP Proliant G8 with three disks: (1) SSD for the system, (2) primary 3TO WD RED and (3) WD Green 2TO for the backup. I use Rsync everynight to copy the important data from the primary disk to the backup disk.
I'm seeing around some disk crashes on my friends NAS and I'm thinking to have more redundancy on my system.If my primary disk fails I will have to replace it, copy the information from the backup to the primary, rebuild the sharing folders, the plexmediaserver folder, etc, etc.... it's quite anoying...If you have a raid, and a disk crashes, just need to unplug the old one, plug the new one and rebuild the RAID.
So, would you recommend to buy another WD RED 3TO and create a raid 1 with my actual primary WD RED ? or maybe use another brand to prevent some "brand defects"' ?
Will I lose some perf with the RAID 1 on read/write ?
I know it's gonna take some time to rebuild my shares with the new UID, etc....
Thanks for you advice guys!
