Sorry if this is a dumb question: what raid array should I use if I want to use 4 HDD and have it set so that if 2 drives fail, the other 2 will still have everything? (zerobytes.monster)

Chat GPT recommended Raid 6 and Raid 10.

  • Also, could I use a raid array like this on top of Windows on my PC, or would I need to install a different OS to do that?
  • What software could I use to accomplish this goal?
  • Would a setup like this (4 hard drives in an old PC - Dell Optiplex to be specific) be as good as a dedicated synology NAS?

Thanks for reading!
