I have an 11th gen Framework mainboard which I would like to repurpose as a server. Unfortunately, (unless I do some super janky stuff) I can only connect 1 drive to it over M.2 and any additional ones must be over USB....
Been running raid1 on USB for over a decade. Avoid chaeap USB stuff, get foot brand USB boxes and preferably a JBOD multi-disk enclosure, since they tend to be the best quality.

Be careful not to burn the Linux bridge by being not able to support the transition now… :)
Edit: what I mean is, if you are responsible for this transition, now study study study… Be very careful and test each setup on a “test” machine before going to deploy for others…

Would this flow work with Immich & Syncthing to copy images and auto upload and delete?
I would like new images to be uploaded to Immich from my phone and deleted after 30 days automatically, so I was thinking about this flow:...
