A "
bazillion sticks
"? "
Or even better, use 4 sticks in RAID-5."
My 3 NVME sticks and 2 SATA drive are a bazillion and your 4 sticks are not? With my system the first 1 TB NVME is for the OS and program files. Did your plan keep that? If so don't we then still end up with a bazillion? And after the few minutes initially setting up the back up utility it's forgotten about. (at least until a crash). So I'm not sure there is any "
need to mess around with automated copyin".
Thank you for chiming in

My sticks are designed to work together seamlessly, utilizing a single PCIe link on the CPU to share bandwidth efficiently. This setup provides significantly higher overall throughput compared to traditional configurations. A RAID card connects to one link, which can support advanced PCIe versions like 5x8, while additional drives in RAID-5 can deliver up to 12TB capacity with redundancy and read speeds exceeding 20+ TB/s. All this while maintaining real-time backup capabilities.
In RAID-1 or 5 configurations, redundancy is greatly enhanced, eliminating the need for complex file copying processes. RAID-1 backups remain up-to-date, ensuring data integrity even if a drive fails. The system automatically switches to degraded operation when necessary, preserving the current state of files without requiring manual intervention.
RAID configurations are scalable and flexible, accommodating various needs beyond just a few drives. The uniform arrangement of these sticks simplifies management, making maintenance straightforward. Each stick type is standardized, reducing complexity and potential issues.
RAID-x technology maximizes performance per stick, offering greater capacity and bandwidth. It surpasses the capabilities of RAID-5 or 6, making it easier to achieve desired results without writing complex scripts.
RAID has its role.
Ongoing availability when physical components fail.
A sensible person will also rely on a solid backup.
If you're not concerned about time constraints over an hour, RAID isn't necessary.
You can still believe your data is protected within that RAID.
Those who understand better...they do.
This issue can be addressed at the same standard as the proposed approach.
A significant portion of BTRFS promotional content claims RAID is completely ineffective.
I always acknowledged this.
I never claimed otherwise; I simply stated that RAID remains a valuable resource.
