In the process of setting up my first local server. I have used VPS/Seedbox before where storage was already configured. I need some advice on best way to partition drives.
I have a 250gb SSD that I would like to use as main install point. I also have 3x2TB, 1x3TB, 1x4TB and 1x6TB. I'm unsure on the best way to use the space.
- Lump all together in raid and mount on /
- Separate into 2 different raid
- Something completely different?
I've never used a raid setup on a local machine before so I'm not 100% sure which would be best for my situation. I plan to run Plex along with automation apps (Sonarr, Radarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar, etc) as well as torrent through a vpn.
I've previously run everything under 1 user so I didn't have to worry about permissions. This is why I'm leaning to one raid mounted at / so all the space is usable to all. Would it be just as easy to mount each drive separately? Any advice or help would be greatly appriciated
