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?
I liked the mitosis analogy. May I borrow it?
Might as well, I think it’s how my instructor taught it when I was going through school.
