Are the spinning disks for Linux ISOs? If so, why raidz1 instead if snapraid?

Was just what I was experimenting with when I built it a few years ago. Never gave may issues so I've just stayed with it. Would be nice to be able to mismatch my drive size though

Makes sense. Might as well wait for the zfs anyraid coming out β€œsoon”

Two of the drives are 18tb I got cheap πŸ˜‚ so maybe in a decade I'll get that 8tb of space

I gotta look into this sometime. I'm still doing Z mirrors of 4TB drives. I was lucky to score those.

I have a bunch of 500GB / 1TBs just sitting there though that would need power and a SATA extension, maybe to put non-critical stuff on...
