Single drives are fine as long as you have automated backups and can handle the interruption when someone goes wrong. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] InputZero@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago It depends on what's on the drive. I have a large library of games stored on striped spinning rust. What it does is let me play very old games without downloading them every time. When one fails which isn't very often, I just buy a new one, rebuild the array and download again. Usually I'm downloading the library cause I did something stupid and broke it. Any data I value at all is at least in a redundant array and anything that I don't want to ever lose is in a proper 3-2-1 solution. Keeps the costs down, cause I'd be sad if I lost my jellyfin stuff but screwed if I lost my pictures or tax stuff. permalink fedilink source parent [+] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 6 months ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago !remindme 1 year 10 months permalink fedilink source parent [+] InputZero@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
