Yep.

Even if you aren’t religious (I’m not), I highly recommend reading the bible, and history since say the 1500’s.

Things were objectively MUCH worse prior to the 20th century.

That’s not data redundancy - there’s still only one copy of your data.

Those are mitigations against loss of data due to loss of parity.

There’s still only ONE copy of your data.

Fine.

Pull 1 drive and see how redundant your data is while it’s resilvering.

RAID is NOT data redundancy. You still have a single copy of your data.

Tell me again how RAID is data redundancy?

Once had a doc describe it as a form of GERD, so the same approach applies.

RAID isn’t data redundancy, it’s an array of drives combined to form a single logical storage pool. It solves the problem of needing a single storage pool larger than the available drives. As such, it’s very sensitive to loss of a single drive.

At your storage size requirements (2 TB), RAID is unnecessary today.

Edit: Let me say it again for you downvoters-RAID is NOT data redundancy.

There is only ONE copy of your data in RAID (excepting mirroring). It’s why RAID now has double parity and hot spare drive capability.

RAID is for creating a single pool that’s larger than available drive size.

Go ahead and downvote in ignorance, and learn about data redundancy when your RAID fails.

RAID is NOT data redundancy - it’s DRIVE redundancy.

A stroke isn’t a choice.

Your attitude is.

Or, be an adult and adjust it as you need.

Unless you need the super-compactness of a mini PC, the Small Form Factor is a significantly greater value.

You get more horsepower, more space, and better cooling.

And they tend to be very quiet. Mine only has some fan noise when converting video, and it’s always running 2-5 VM’s (mostly Windows).

Looks pretty fun to me!

Err, wut?

What do they use it for? Just the photos/videos?

I sync all such things to home using either Syncthing (Möbius on iOS) or Resilio Sync. No cloud service required. Then it’s all backed up with my home backup.

Its nearly instant when I take a photo. It means I can manage my photos with my laptop rather than my phone.

They both work by installing the app on your PC and your phone, then configuring a sync job for whatever you want to sync, both have a default photo backup job in them.

I disagree with cold backup drives.

In my experience, cold drives fail more often than warm drives. This is why all my data replication is always warm.

All backup solutions should be regulator tested, otherwise you don’t know if you have a backup.

What’s a Facebook?

(Yes, /s. I’ve never even been to the website, let alone had an account).

Hahahaha

So, yes
