zfs

I have a synology ds920+ in and have replaced several drives and have a collection of 8tb Seagate compute (yes i know some are smr, hourly i can still use them?) and Toshiba n300 drives and an ironwolf. I wanted to create storage that i can put together a collection of retro files on (all kinds...

After several near irrecoverable data losses, I have finally decided to do something about the situation and make backups However, I have realized I am not sure what would be the optimal way to make a backup that'd protect both against hardware and software failure. I do have some external hard...

I have no hands-on experience with ZFS or RAID in general. I'm starting a project (a DIY file-server) and wanted to weigh up whether to use ZFS for it. How exactly is a corrupt file restored/fixed/recovered on ZFS's RAID-Z1. E.g. Imagine I have 4 drives (10TB each) and one of the drives...

The title pretty much says it all. I was wondering what would happen to a software raid zfs array in freenas if the sata controller on the motherboard or an HBA the drives were connected to happened to fail. Would it be as simple as replacing the HBA or the motherboard and everything will...

Hi everyone, first timer here. The title pretty much says it all. I've been considering building a storage server myself, with these components: Server case: Norco RPC-4244 ( https://www.newegg.com/norco-rpc-4224/p/N82E16811219038 ) CPU: AMD Threadripper 3970x (32core/64thread) GPU: Gtx 1050 (...

Hi, it's the first time that I am using Proxmox. I have 4x 4TB HDDs that are now in a RAIDZ-1 ZFS (no other disks). I created a Windows Server VM to be used as a file-server. In order to have my data in a different disk than the OS one, I am trying to understand what is the most appropriate way...

I was wondering to buy a320 mother board or b350 with the CPU ryzen 3 2200g but the problem when I ask sellers online about some motherboard that they sell like asrock a320m dgs matx and asrock a320m hdv some of them tell me that it doesn't support ryzen 3 2200G but when i see the specifications...

I've had Windows for nearly 2 years now and I just recently did a clean format and install but ever since, it's asking for me to connect to the phone. I see this at log on screen on booting up, and via the pop up slide box roughly every hour. I have never connected a phone before and I only...

I've considered in buying myself 'two' EVGA GTX 980 Ti KINGPIN GPU's but the issue is that I've noticed they only sell them at the official EVGA website and (occasionally) at Amazon. I would like to know which gives me the best packaging, shipping fee, and warranty. I know you may say I could...
