I want to do some sense with lot of disks I got.
I plan to combine all the disks into one single storage but all disks got different sizes and some disks are PATA as well.
Can I build a combined single NAS storage. It will be approximately 3tbs if all disks get combined.
@vivek.krishnan Is there a way to JBOD multiple disks, but still be able to access each disk's data independently if required, say directly connected to a SATA port or usb-to-sata?
So basically, some kind of software JBOD is the only/preferred way to combine multiple disks into a single volume, yet access each disk's data independently, in case of 'raid' failure etc. ?
Won't it be better using a dedicated solution like QNAP or Synology @vivek.krishnan
And how much was the total expense? Is the 16TB in some sort of RAID or JBOD?
