Trying to squeeze some more storage in my MiniPC. I have questions about these. These use hardward RAID with selectable modes (Individual/JBOD/RAID1/RAID2).
If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?
If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?
Can I use these as "individual" or JBOD and have 2 separate drives through the same connector, and use something like TrueNAS to software-RAID them?
SATA, not NVMe.
Speed is not a concern for me.
If you don't have a bunch of nvmes lying around that you want to use, then why not just go for a few sata drives and raid those together? You do what you like, to me that just seems like more storage for your buck
I don't have any way to add them.
But you adding nvmes on the same slot?
M.2 is a form factor. Under that form factor it can run the NVMe or the SATA protocol.
No.
What are we seeing here?
This is a SATA/M.2 to SATA/2.5" adapter. No NVMe.
