Recently, I decided to get a big upgrade for my home NAS, so I had to set up a RAID array once again. Since I’m not doing this on a daily basis, I tend to forget the commands, so I have a document with all the instructions. I think that it might be helpful for some of you, so I polished it up a bit.
I’m going to cover the following aspects of the process:
- choosing the drives
- choosing and setting up the HBA
- choosing a software RAID solution
- and finally setting up the array itself
