Hi all. I’m trying to choose a configuration for my home storage. Speed is not a priority, I want a balance of stability and performance. I was thinking of making a raid 6 array with an ext4 file system for 4 disks of 2 TB each. Asking for advice, will this configuration be optimal?

Note - I am going to make a raid array based on external usb drives, which I will plug into the orange pi

    Yeah I’ve used lvm with snapshotting with great success. Raid is great, just remember it is only one measure for data retention. Another optional addition would be add a hot spare.
