Hey there,
I got an old desktop I use for Linux Mint with two drives. One for OS, the other for data (8TB).
I am thinking I want some kind of way to do an rsync backup and buy a separate 8 TB drive to mirror it.
Question is, should I opt for something like an old Raspberry Pi 3 or 4, and use a SATA to USB converter for a regular 3.5 inch 8TB Seagate or Western Digital Drive along with some 3D printed enclosure?
Or should I get something like an HP thin client for the same thing since it's going to be a USB type JBOD setup?
EDIT: I forgot I have an old mini PC running Kubuntu on it too so maybe I should just opt for a USB enclosure JBOD setup?
Curious for recommendations on workflow for what small PC or device to get as well as the types of drives since I even have debated just getting an external 8TB self powered drive for this too.
Before you ask, I just want a pair of two drives in this scenario since I already have an old external with the most sensitive stuff on it anyway for old storage so no need for 3 x 2 x 1 scenario.
Thanks!
