Hi everyone,
thanks for your reply's. And what I get out of it is that your basicly saying that I don't need a NAS for the purpose I thought I needed it for.
I just need to continue the way I did it (though I only had 2 copy's instead of 3, still I had one drive at home and one drive in my parents house) just need to sync more often.
Are there also Windows programs that can check the file status (corrupt or not) and get the healthy file from the second drive and copy it to the first drive?
what do you mean by "don't use RAID"? 
Isn't it mend to copy have a mirrored drive and to check if file get corrupt and get good once from the mirror drive? 
If I shouldn't use RAID but just sync regularly I don't need a NAS correct? That I can do with the way I did it up to now.
I just want that file corruption check and automated backup done automaticly by the system.
Hi all,
I'm Mike and I'm new to omv.
I've have a Synology DS107 that is disconnected for some years now and since then I store all our family photo's on 1 external drive and run a sync program to another external drive.
But...... 3 weeks ago the drive with the original photo's died on me and the last time I synced was about a year ago.
So....I have a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB laying in the shelve here doing nothing. And I would like to turn that into a NAS with 2x2TB external drives (both have the same files so they are a copy of each other (never know what RAID config that is)).
I'm guessing I need a powered USB hub in order to avoid the drive underpowered issue.
But my main question is: what drives should I buy??? HDD or SSD?
I don't want to pay to much because then I could buy a new Synology or a Qnap NAS.
Hope you have some good suggestions for me.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings from the Netherlands!
Mike
