Hey Everyone First time poster Just had a question, Im starting a new Nas build want to do it a bit better then the past only issue is the drives I have , 2x 8th , 3x4tb and a 3tb , some drives are older sadly can't afford to just buy a bunch of drives, I'm wanting an array of the drives where if one fails only that drives data is lost , it's not important data so I'm not super worried plus I will check health and remove drives as needed , I'm looking for a suggestion on how to do this , and what os to do this on

Currently I'm using mergefs and multiple drives on an old hp micro server , upgrading to a 8 core Xeon

Thanks everyone
