I have a setup similar to yours. However, I use SSDs for stuff I want readily available (OS, programs, /home, etc.). On my main computer, I have two 4TB spinning rust drives, with RAID0 on them. I keep stuff on them where speed isn't as big a deal: backups, etc. Backups include amanda backups, rsnapshot backups, and others. I plan to add drives to upgrade the RAID to add checksums, and that will involve buying a SATA controller. If money is a concern, something like that might work for you. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
