Choosing the Right Filesystem for Your RAID Setup
You have lots of stuff, photos on your phone, bookmarks for your favorite sites, movies, music, memes...lots of stuff..Where do you store it? If you want to backup your phone, laptoptop, desktop where do you put it? So you think you want a Network Attached Storage (NAS), or some kind of storage system for all your stuff...how do you choose the right one? This isnt a product guide, this is part one of a do-it-your-self guide to building one yourself using off the shelf components. This first step picking the right filesystem for the the job.
THIS VIDEO IS TECHNICAL, its the planning part...Later videos will be more user friendly...
You could just go buy an off the shelf solution and many people do, but if you have ever worked around large companies much, why do they for the most part build it themselves? What do they know that you dont?
We arent going to answer all of those questions today, but this series is about the do-it-your-selfers who want the bes while saving a few bucks in the process. And best of all you know how it works and there is never a subscription fee.
So lets take the first steps finding the right filesystem for our Storage Devide, we call them RAIDs because they are Redudant, Arrays of Independent Disks.
This ist for everybody...like i said most just go buy something they hope will work for their needs, and most often not they dont live up to that, commercial devices strike a middle of the road approach, a one size fits all...and usually they are left shoes on a right foot...so lets begin
Today we are going to look at some testing I did to try and answer that question.
