Going to need a significant amount of storage soon. eSATA it’s significantly cheaper than a SAS enclosure + card.
I had thought that if i’m going to use a snapraid setup for these drives (to make it so only one drive it’s active for any given opperation, it should work the same.
Any experience with this type of setup?
USB is even cheaper and far easier to find these days.
Snapraid is only for parity. If you intend to pool up your storage you need something else like mergerFS on top of it. But if you care about performance it is not really a great option.
