However, when picking out the spare drive, be sure it’s a CMR HDD instead of an SMR disk. The reason is that SMR drives have awfully slow write times, which can severely impact the performance of your NAS. Sure, their cheaper prices make them somewhat usable in scenarios where you don...
So, if you have introduced one or more drives to your custom build server, you can choose whether you want this to be an independent new pool as a hot spare, to factor as additional storage redundancy, dedicated deduplication storage, designate the space for metadata (SSD recommended of ...
At any time that you want to remove a disk from the array, or add one, you’ll just have to stop it, remove/insert, and then start it again. It’s quite a simple process, and you can even upgrade your parity drive in the future. The main thing to keep in mind is that your ...

Network-attached storage (NAS) is great if you want to share data, content, or otherwise with computers over a local network (or even the internet!). Better still, you can make your own NAS if you have a spare computer lying around. ...
