My current storage capacity is 10TB with 1.70TB free which is split in to arrays. I'll be soon faced with the ugly situation where I'm out of room and needing to upgrade. Hopefully I'll be able to hold off on the upgrade till end of the year or early in 2018.
4TB 2 x 2TB raid 0 - movies/music
6TB 3 x 2tb raid 0 - data/docs/pics/porn/e-books
My plan is to shrink the number of required drives but also grow the capacity to allow plenty of room for growth. So maybe 4 6TB drives in raid 5 config at minimum will give 18TB or I could go with 3 8TB drives for total of 16TB.
The rub is that these larger drives have different screw holes which may make secure mounting them in my case a problem.
or you could just stop being a raidfaggot and realize none of that shit is worth backing up in the first place and actually use all of the drive space you have instead of wasting it on redundancy.
i bet you don't have 500 gigs worth of anything even remotely critical. you're just autistic as fuck.
>raid 0
Nigga clean that shit up and raid 1 that shit
Stop hording shit like a deranged senile senior citizen who doesn't know how to throw things away so deludes self that everyone could be of value.

RAID 5 is a meme and especially with drives larger than 1T. If a disk fails the rebuild is going to take forever on 6T drives and the probability of another drive dying in that time frame is high if they are the same model.

Lmao you niggers are retards.Raid 10 or 6 tards. Only acceptable arrays.

Why are you using raid? If the controller goes you are screwed.
Get zfs, it's not the 90s anymore.

personally i'd hate to re-download / install 10 TB of crap. A lot of it is probably obscure enough to be gone forever if you lose it. But whatever floats your boat anon.

You don't need uncompressed blu-ray rips of all your favorite chinese cartoons, fgt.
