I'll probably look to have a couple very large rust drives as internal local backup, for quick restores if I need it (but of course stuff I'd actually be troubled by losing if the place burnt down of course still gets backed up off site as well).Īt this point I'm 99% sold on ZFS being the way to do for all the storage, particularly for snapshots and being able to use them for incremental backup both locally and remotely. About 6-6.5TB is media served through Plex, so I figure when I pull the trigger on all this I'll have an array of SATA SSDs for that, and use NVMe disks for the rest (photos, the email backend, HomeAssistant, InfluxDB). So currently I'm using about 8TB of data on 10TB of disks. One of the key goals is to replace my rust drives entirely with flash, which is probably why this planning just keeps stretching on and on. I've been planning to move from my Mac Mini 2012 attached to a Drobo to a more. Hey all, long time lurker and finally made myself an account to engage here.
