Drive Configuration:
Parity Spaces: Use the 5x6TB 7200rpm drives in a parity space configuration. This provides fault tolerance, allowing one drive to fail without data loss.
SSD as Cache: Employ the 500GB SSD as a write-back cache. This enhances write performance and helps in scenarios with random write workloads.
Backup Strategy:
Since you're regularly backing up to large external HDDs, having a parity space adds another layer of data protection, reducing the risk of data loss due to drive failures.
Network Speed:
With a 2.5GbE network, you have a decent speed for accessing movies and performing backups. Ensure your network infrastructure supports this speed.
Regular Monitoring:
Periodically check the health of your drives using tools like CrystalDiskInfo or the built-in Windows tools. This proactive approach can help detect potential issues early.
External Backups:
Ensure your external HDD backups are stored securely, and you can consider rotating them periodically or keeping one offsite for added protection.
