Trying to squeeze some more storage in my MiniPC. I have questions about these. These use hardward RAID with selectable modes (Individual/JBOD/RAID1/RAID2).
-
If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?
-
If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?
-
Can I use these as “individual” or JBOD and have 2 separate drives through the same connector, and use something like TrueNAS to software-RAID them?

Heat may be an issue if it is very cramped
There is a fan for the SSD.
I’m still leaning towards one large SSD
Then there’s no redundancy.
or perhaps external storage.
I have no way to add external storage. It’s my understanding that USB storage does not work well.
Have you considered SD card(s) as your redundancy? They’re not great/ideal, but microSD are incredibly small. Or this may be a good use case for a local NAS placed somewhere else in your home that your PC backs up to nightly?
I have not. It seems M.2 SATA drives would be better than SD cards, no?
How would I go about using SD cards?
