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).

  1. If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?

  2. If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?

  3. 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?

    Okay, I don’t know why you’re downvoting me, and I’m over it. I was trying to help you and understand the question, I was trying not to be argumentative. My honest responses haven’t changed on your questions, I think it’s going to fail quickly, I think you’re going to regret it, and I don’t think it’s good for your use case. But hey, what do I know, I’ve only done basically the same thing and self hosted stuff for 15 years, and was only trying to help you avoid the mistakes I made. Sorry I didn’t just agree with everything you said and was trying to figure out alternatives.
