Hi and thanks for reading this!
I find Rockstor impressive and more than suitable for my needs. Let me sum them up:
- I keep a copy of my precious pictures on two dedicated 2TB HD, each of one being a sync’ed copy of the other with the help of “luckyBackup” Linux software (veteran Gentoo Linux user here).
- I’m running out of space quickly and probably next spring I’ll have to add more storing space, so I decided to try Rockstar to not only upgrade my storage but gain NAS capabilities.
Since I’m on a tight budget, could I do this?
- Use my existing two 2TB drives to create a 4TB pool (pool A) with Rockstor.
- Buy a new 4 TB SSD drive and use it for pool B.
- Create a RAID 1 with pool A (two 2TB drives) and pool B (one 4TB drive).
Is that possible at all or have I misunderstood the pool and raid concepts?
Would there be a better option to take advantage of the two 2TB drives I already have?
