Good Morning, Afternoon or Night,
today i would like to write you about an experiment to get a Micro NAS.
The idea is to realize a very small NAS to be easy portable, low consumption yet have redundancy and average capacity.
So i have came across this hardware targets:
- Odroid U3
- 6 x microSD 32GB
- eMMc optional Module
- 3 microSDtoUSB adapters
- 1 microSDtoOTG adapter
To get the following Software setup:
- Raid 5
Which are your thoughts? What do you think about it?
Thank you very much for reading, very glad to share this here !
Questions:
1. My main concern is about the main storage for the OS: is it correct to install it on a Flash? (From wiki it seems not, so which solution woul be ideal?)
2. Setting up a RAID 5 with 5 x 32 GB microSDs gives a total amount of 4 x 32 GB of usable data, or there are other further things to ount in?
