Raid and many other questions about my new build

@ci2own,

Thats pretty much how most people (including myself) setup their systems.
A decent sized NVMe for the system drive and one or more large HDD(s) for data/user files.

I have the following in my main dev system (MonkeyMac Pro in sig) ....

1 x Samsung 512GB NVMe for MacOS
1 x Samsung 256GB NVMe for Windows 10 (not used that much TBH)
1 x 1TB HDD, NTFS formatted and used as a shared DATA drive between MacOS (with Tuxera) and Windows
1 x 2TB HDD, NTFS for Windows 10 data/User Files
1 x 4TB HDD HFS+ formatted for MacOS Data/User Files
1 x 1TB HDD HFS+ formatted for MacOS Backups and Archives

I have a second Hackintosh system running on my LAN which is used as a Data & Media server (MonkeyMedia MAC in sig), that system uses a 64GB SSD as the System drive and two 6TB HDD's running in RAID 1 (mirror) using MacOS Software RAID. I've been running MacOS RAID 1 on that system for over six years (with gradual increases in storage capacity) and it has never failed on me

Cheers

Interesting setup!

I will do something similar, but i don't use Windows too much, i will install it on a Virtual Machine for testing purposes only.

As a server I have a Synology NAS which i guess is the best buy i ever did.

Cheers
