Hi
I bought a SSD as a system drive as it was recommended in a german NAS forum. But then I learned that a USB stick is more commenly used as a system drive. Right now I'm using an old USB stick of 2GB and the SSD is encrypted and used as a ownCloud drive.
Does it make sense to get rid of the SSD? I'm planning to buy 3 WD Red 4TB drives and run them in a RAID5. Should I just create a dataset within the RAID for the ownCloud and save the SATA connection? Or leave it as it is? What is your recommendation?
Edit: Also should I get a new (cheap) USB stick or is mine good enough? It's about 5 years or so old, but still does the job.
