  Oh this is perfect, thanks so much! I’ve got one of the hard drives in use but I could definitely wipe the other one to make a proper copy with the zpool.

  Thanks for giving me a fun little week task!

  Haha, it was a year and a half ago, and it was a Canada Computers sale. Just checked and it doesn’t look like it’s TOO much more expensive yet, but who knows for how long.

  That’s great, I’d love to not have to buy one of those machines, and I have been running my JF on a laptop just running Linux with a single one of the 16tb drives.

  If the drives added to the pool need to be formatted, is there a possibility that it wipes the data on it? I’ll take a bit of time to read up on some of the options you mentioned.

  Thanks for the help!

  This feels like such a beginner question to be asking on Lemmy, let alone the tech community, but how does one go about setting up a RAID array to have my data mirrored? I only know the basics I remember about raid 1 and raid 0.

  Is this RAID array something you can do without one of those “multi-hard drive units”? I’d love and appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction!

  There was some word lately that Canada is going with a local “Cohear” or “Cohere” to create their sovereign cloud infrastructure. It’ll be interesting to see it go ahead, seems to be part of what the government is looking to help finance. Here’s hoping the government is smart enough to get a %age of the profits too and double dip on the economy boost.

  If you don’t want to post the name here, message me it because I’m kind of curious if I’m thinking about the same place hahaha
