That’s a really great idea. I know at least 2 of the drives are from the same batch so it would be good to rotate things in and out. Thanks!

Start googling. Hardware or Software based? How techy are you? RAID should not be considered for backup. Think of it as an individual drive. Still needs a backup. Personally I use a ZFS pool in my Linux homelab that’s been rock solid. However the pucker factor would be high if a drive fails.
Depends on how you set them up. There are calculators online that can estimate this for you.
I used NAS drives bc they’re expected to be spinning a lot.
No. You will see better performance on average compared to your slowest drive.
I have no relevant experience with specific hardware. For a general base of knowledge figure out what RAID type you want to use. Look at what ZFS or btrfs can do in this space. Same for unraid.
Admittedly it’s been awhile since I’ve raw dogged the Internet. I’m traveling without my usual pihole. How does anyone do without ad blockers? Reading that was like trying to read an article surrounded by times square billboards. “Support our journalism, turn off your add blocker”. My ass
I literally sent a message right before posting.
Spoiler - it’s working again. Might be teething problems for a new service.
I bought a really nice Benchmade pocket knife. I like the way it opens Amazon packages
Ubiquity also has some managed switches with sfp+ ports. They are more expensive than the one listed above however.
