          The HDD inside is just a Red as opposed to a Red Pro and runs at 5400rpm?

  • I googled something and this was teh cheapest

  • Probably not the place to be asking buuut I will anyway ha.
    I have a raid 6 array with 6 x 8TB drives for plex. I also have a secondary single disk array which consists of random drives which has the same back up of the same data.
    I am about to run out of space on the secondary back up drives and am considering doing a second raid 5 array with 4 x 10tb drives.that would give me a raid 6 and then a separate raid 5 redundancy. Would this option be better or better to just have a random jbod / single disk with no fault tolerance.

    I have spent years collecting hard to find items so I am taking the maximum precautions. I am in the 20+tb range of data… what does everyone else do for precautions.

    I also will have the very important personal less than 2tb data on an offline drive for triple back up ha. Is this to much…??

      From what I can make of your requirements, the data you consider valuable is video media, and is generally added to and not deleted.

      In my experience, private tape backup or cloud storage like Amazon Glacier, is used because it is the cheapest option, and provides an alternate technology separate to primary storage.

      Your NAS software may provide direct backup to Amazon Glacier (Synology does).

      Tape backup includes a regime of regularly confirming the backups and replacing tapes at regular intervals. Reliable archival backup with tape is not for everyone. You could use other write-once instead of tape, but I've found beyond using enterprise storage methods, they all have reliability issues beyond most hobbyists, and problems are only discovered after a failure occurs.

      You may consider the monthly fees of cloud storage like Amazon Glacier expensive. However be sure to compare it to the upfront cost of buying NAS and disks, and the ongoing power costs of running the NAS.

      • Thanks for the info. I did a quick check of Amazon Glacier. It would exceed the price of my own server in under a year and that does not include retrieval costs if there was any.

        Might look into tape storage. Cheers.
