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?
Then why does it list JBOD?
Because it does JBOD if the controller supports it. Pretty much none of the controllers you’ll find in consumer hardware support that.
What do you mean by “controller”?
The SATA controller on the motherboard. The thing you plug your SATA cable into.
