I recently got a few (5) hard drives to turn my home server into a NAS with trueNAS scale and my idea is to have 4 usable and 1 for redundancy, my question is… How does RAID work, like what is RAID 0, RAID 5, software RAID etc, and does any of that even matter for my use case?
0: “i don’t care about my data.”
1: “i REALLY care about my data”
5: “i’ll trade you one drive now, for my data if one of the drives dies later”
