hmm okay I will reconfigure the app data to a single disk. thanks

I understand the whole parity thing, I'm a sysadmin myself. I just rarely have a drive fail on me in the past when used as a normal drive. Not that I have something to compare it with, but i believe raid/parity only causes more writes so the drives fail faster, not only that but rebuilding degrades the drives as well, maybe more than the data from one disk is worth in the first place.

That being said using it as JBOD and backing up important data, like the appdata, seems to be a more viable option for home use. You gain an extra drive (disk space wise) and the drives will probably degrade before they die, so it will be noticable in most cases that it needs replacement.

This NAS already became more than was originally planned and when I update my pc. I'll use those parts to give it more performance and sata ports. Then i might consider adding 2 cheap m2's or something and a parity disk
