Running both of my local arrays not in raid0 is just wasted capacity. If both of them were to fail at the exact same time then I would probably have much bigger issues to figure out
Man I don't know, that's way too risky for me. If you lose a drive how long would it take to rebuild the array? And then copy your data from the local backup? That's a long time to limp along hoping none out of 3 or 5 drives begins to fail.


I've been using a 5 node ceph cluster with 3x data redundancy for "production" at home and I get nervous when it has to repair a copy.

"Rebuilding" the array takes no time at all. With my 10gb backbone, transferring data is pretty quick.

I just need some 40gb NICs to take advantage of my 40gb ports on my core switch

Oh right, starting from scratch.

Whatever floats your boat! I know you've got your shite in order.

My wife and I use One Drive, Google Drive and iCloud for off-site storage.

I've got a mini PC running Open Media Vault with a 1 TB SSD for an on-site extra copy of some important documents.
