I have very good experience using RAID 10 for more than 15 years at low cost. Never had data loss.. any journaling filesystem is good. In the past I also used reiserfs, but had the most problem with it. These eSATA enclosures are quite cheap and handy.. 4 disks per enclosure, per eSATA-connector.
A single eSATA connector for a box holding 4 disks? Sounds interesting. Do you have a link to a sample of such enclosure?
this is what I would recommend: https://www.ebay.com/p/Sans-Digital-TowerRAID-Tr5m-b-5-Bay-SATA-to-eSATA-Har... mine are a bit older, costed around $ 120 and only for 4 HDDs, weak point is the integrated power supply, fails after 2-3 years usage ($ 50 oem replacement) of course you need a SATA controller, which has PMP-compatibilty. there's a good list: https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SATA_hardware_features older and cheap chips often lack the support. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
