    Yeah fortunately mine are all in RAID arrays, hopefully none die in the next year or I may have to run degraded.

      This feels like such a beginner question to be asking on Lemmy, let alone the tech community, but how does one go about setting up a RAID array to have my data mirrored? I only know the basics I remember about raid 1 and raid 0.

      Is this RAID array something you can do without one of those “multi-hard drive units”? I have 2 16TB hard drives that I’d like to have one as a mirror copy of the first as a backup that updates at the same time but they feel too big to fit into one of those units. But maybe setting up a RAID array could be done programmatically.

      I’d love and appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction!
