Hi,
Looking for some help. I have a 3 x 10TB ZFS pool that is basically full. I don't have room in the case to add another drive. Swapping out all 3 drives for slightly larger ones is not cheap, but also really annoying because I need to backup that data somewhere first before migrating it ๐
Been looking at adding some storage externally from the computer. Don't really need / want a NAS - the current computer has other storage and runs a bunch of things locally on the network.
Was looking at something like the ICY BOX IB-RD3640SU3. The computer runs Ubuntu and the ICY BOX is only listed as only compatible with Windows and macOS - but reading the old doco it looks like that is just for some software I most likely wouldn't want to use. My preference would be to use it with eSATA, but USB is of course an option.
Does anyone have experience with one of these running with Linux?
Other recommendations for something that can do RAID5-like storage externally? (I don't really want to run a ZFS pool entirely off individual external drives.)
Should I get something like a lower-powered Synology / QNAP and just mount a share on the server over the LAN?
Thanks.
