Trying to squeeze some more storage in my MiniPC. I have questions about these. These use hardward RAID with selectable modes (Individual/JBOD/RAID1/RAID2).
-
If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?
-
If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?
-
Can I use these as “individual” or JBOD and have 2 separate drives through the same connector, and use something like TrueNAS to software-RAID them?
- Very likely no (but maybe some SMART data?)
- Probably only if it is the identical model, but depends on the the exact implementation I guess
- Probably if it claims to support them as individual drives, but you will be still limited to the speed of a single SATA3 connection.
