    I’m mainly concerned about:

    1. Not losing data if one drive dies on me.
    2. Fast reads
    3. Easy plug and play expansion

    Since I’ll have 8 drives (or 6, if I use the smaller server, it would be nice if I could swap out one of them without losing data and add a larger one, which would then get used automatically. Is that something that RAID is good for?

    I’m hesitant to set up backups because it’s going to be a lot of data.
