For the love of FSM...why?

What is the specific use case that leads you to think this is a good solution?

 

[Cemil2565]

Why not

 

[USAFRet]

Why not

Greater complexity
Greater fail potential
Zero real performance benefit (in fact, may be slightly slower than individual drives)

So...why?
RAID 0 sounds great. Not so much in actual use.

Why would you? You would gain almost no discernable difference in performance. And when one of your drives fail, you're probably not going to be able to boot anyway and will end up reinstalling your os anyway.

Raid 0 would only add complexity into your computer setup and not really give you a performance boost that is noticeable.

If you were going to do raid 1 maybe. But raid on a motherboard isn't the best idea.

Just do backups and be happy.

Define 'cheap'.
And for what specific use case? An actual NAS, or just a 4 bay USB connected box?

Arround 200 euro's for back-up pc files, what upside have the nas over usb?

 

[USAFRet]

OK...
We've gone from 2x 500GB NVMe and RAID 0 to a 4 bay HDD NAS.
Completely different uses.

A NAS box, such as from Qnap or Synology is a whole system. Mostly, a small PC.
Feature rich, multiple built in applications. I have one. $400 plus drives.

A USB connected box depends on the host PC for all of its functions. I have one of these as well. $100 plus drives.

But neither can be done in 200 EUR if you want 4 drives.

Add whatever drives you want in it.

If this is for home use, you might consider going for a paid Dropbox account.

Iam using Google photos/drive but upload speed sux. I have like 15Mbps up

 

[ohio_buckeye]

I get what your saying. Might just leave the system on overnight doing nothing else just to let it do the initial upload.
