RAID is generally a good idea, especially if you use an advanced filesystem such as ZFS. If you use proper RAID there isn't a limit on size, there are ZFS systems with > 256 drives.I was thinking it might be better to have more drives, like 5 4TB ones, opposed to say, 2 10TB because it minimizes the risk of data failure since the drives are spread across multiple units. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Is 36TB the max you can get in the SATA/PCIe controller configuration raid? Help me understand.
Is the sata/pcie controller essentially a configuration on a board that has more slots to input drives into an integrated or consolidated unit?
The trick is finding a case that takes enough drives, or ideally can take a hotswap frame.
