April 13, 20242 yr Have a machine that is limited to (2) 14TB HDs, 2 Nvme SSDs (1 TB each) and 64GB of memory with AMD Ryzen 7 5700U. I have used TrueNAS in the past, and it mirrored the (2) HDs out of the box. Unraid doesn't so here for suggestions. The current plan is to have one HD for media and the second HD for parity, with two SSDs for cache / appdata. any better suggestions?

April 15, 20242 yr Single Parity is a Mirror, but you can also use a ZFS Pool of 2 devices and assign 1 throw away device to the array using a usb flash drive. Then you get scrub/bit-rot protection. Edited April 15, 20242 yr by foo_fighter
