So my purple western digital 2TB hard drive decided to die last week good thing I was able to still recover the data because I converted the thin volume(1.7TB of it) as an ext4 partition where I can store all my files, and the root fs took only less than 100GB where the boot partition resides . As it died suddenly I was still able to sift through the files in the partition mounting it on a live linux mint OS, then had to fsck it after a time where it wouldn't mount saying that the superblock was not recognized.
So I wanna ask the community as per my title, I run 5 containers(CentOS and Ubuntu) and 1 KVM(Windows 7) which miraculously I was also able to pull out all the backups on the root partition after deleting all the backups on my PC because I did not know this would happen. So is this a good idea? The proxmox OS will reside on the SSD and I am also thinking that the disks will reside on the ironwolf HDD as it is designed for 24/7 operation. I run a file server, a DNS server, observium, an ftp server where one of our cameras will always write on per minute(jpeg image only, no video files) and a windows 7 operating system.
This is a personal home setup only, so I don't think I need to do RAID or anything, besides the fact the motherboard only has 2 SATA ports, extending my storage to SATA3 to USB 3 adapters and have a cronjob just do its thing mounting it on reboot.
