I am replacing 4TB drives in my Synology DS 1520+ with 8TB drives. (I'm using SHR1.) So I will have three 4TB drives left over. How can I use them to backup my NAS?
I am thinking the best is a cheap second NAS and using the left-over drives in RAID 0 config to be able to backup most of my stuff.
Do you think this could work or is RAID0 too risky for a backup? What is the cheapest NAS enclosure you can recommend for this? Should it be a Synology for better software compatibility?
Many thanks for any pointers!
