  • Thanks for that link to the blackblaze reports, definitely good to have, I always assume that a drive can fail any moment anyways.

    Starting to build a storage pool sounds like a fun project, do you have suggestions of some hardware to start with that could later be expanded?

    I'm not sure if data redundancy is necessary for my use case, as I don't need to guarantee 24/7 accessibility.

  • I've considered this as well, as I already back my data up regularly. However, I read online that external disks aren't good for long-term access. Have you run into any issues with that?

  • Thank you for the suggestion, I'll have to open up the machine to see if the motherboard has a SATA port. Adding a second SSD doesn't sound too hard assuming it is possible.

    Could I ask why a server HDD and not a desktop HDD?
