I have a large 45 drive storage array managed by ms storage spaces on win10. I have drives ranging crime 1tb all the way to 20tb. They are configured in a full mirror. I would say I’m satisfied with the setup so far but it’s time to upgrade the OS. My choices are win server or Linux. I MUCH prefer Linux but I am having a hard time about the drive array. I need some kind of management system that allows me to reassemble my varying make and model and size drives into a fault tolerant single virtual drive. It has to be able to handle drive failures and recovery easily as some of my drives are many many years beyond their prime. This has been storage spaces biggest advantage.
Oh, and no striping. The array is about 160tb avail, 320 in space. I already know I have to transfer the files to a new array whatever I do cuz I wanna get off ntfs, so now is the time if I can find a replacement for storage spaces
Any suggestions?
