That could be, I was trained in systems admin but work as a network engineer by profession. I’ve only set up one server in an enterprise environment and it was using RAID 6.
I’d assume you could read from both disks at the same time though.
Might as well, I think it’s how my instructor taught it when I was going through school.
If you have four drives you can do RAID 6 assuming your controller supports it.
RAID 0 just puts your data on multiple drives, giving you higher read/write speeds but with no built in redundancy.
RAID 1 is just a copy, you have your data duplicated so that if anything fails there’s an immediate copy. No increase in RW speeds.
RAID 5/6 use “parity data” which operates somewhat like RNA/DNA when going through mitosis. The four building blocks TCGA only connect with one of the other four in pairs of two, so even if you have half the data (RNA) you know what the other half is by logical extension. The difference is that 5 uses 3 drives at a time whereas 6 uses 4, you can only withstand the failure of one drive in RAID 5 but 6 can handle the loss of two.
RAID 10 (one-zero, not “ten”) does exactly what the name suggests, it combines the direct copy of RAID 1 with the striping of RAID 0 to give you double RW speeds with redundancy.
Each one will reduce your overall storage by a certain amount, either because of copying the data completely or taking up space for “parity data.” The only one that doesn’t do this is RAID 0 but you have absolutely no redundancy there and if You’re considering RAID for home use I’m going to assume that’s important to you.
Most are similar enough, Avaya is pretty close.
Welcome to networking! It’s a trip I’ll tell you what, especially when you get a job at a place with decade old network configs and get told to upgrade it while the group that uses it fights you tooth and nail.
It’s alright, most computer geeks (even professional ones) can’t even figure out how IP addressing works. That’s why networking is its own sub group in enterprise environments.
No problem, networks are an interesting development in computer technology and plenty of people (even those with computer knowledge) have never seen how complex they can get.
I suppose I’m being a little harsh, I just deal in networks and it made me pause but I forget not everyone knows what I know. I apologize for being rude.
Essentially your internal private network operates on three ranges of numbers depending on your specific needs. Homes usually never need more than a couple dozen but even the most advanced home network probably only uses half a dozen subnets at most and need fewer than 253 devices per, so usually you get 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255/24 because it’s more than enough. The “/24” denotes (out of 32) where the subnet ends, essentially how we are dividing up the allotted space in the IP scheme we are given. The “Class C” range (mentioned above) has an available 65,000+ addresses. Usually more than enough for any way you want to slice it up. Mostly you’ll just see people sling /24’s around because it’s an even interval of 1 in the last octet which makes things simpler.
People who build more robust “networks” (in the commercial sense) at their houses will usually operate a few different ones, some for internal and others set aside in “DMZ” zones for outward facing servers. Such as gaming servers or self hosting jellyfin!
Any particular reason you felt you needed to blur the last octet? Lol it’s a private IP, outside your broadcast domain and NAT it’s not unique.
Pretty much every home ISP router is going to hand out IP’s on a class C zero subnet (192.168.0.0/24), if I was trying to fingerprint a network I’d start there anyways but you’d need the public IP for that to even matter.
Sir, this is Lemmy. People treat the applications and hardware you use with ethical alignment and switching to FOSS literally has approval on the level of religious conversion.
It’s no wonder people around here care so much about random people’s opinions, the place practically filters for it.
