On the one hand, I find this terrible; running RAID-less storage units.

On the other hand, you are duplicating NAS A onto NAS B at regular intervals.

My brain is beginning to cook just a little bit.

Technically he is doing disk duplexing: Two disks, two controllers, two channels.

I always found custom raid controllers to be the worst possible idea: Not only are you reliant on the N+1 disks, you're relying on the controller not blowing a hole in itself and sinking everything. Bonus if you can't get a new controller/same version. Super bonus fuckage if the controller stores all the disk information in its eeprom instead of on-disk.

Seriously, if you are counting on a single cheap NAS it's better to give your data to Bowsette....



She'll take care of it.
