snapraid reviews and mentions
- How difficult would it be to create an open source archive format with error correction?

Can someone explain how to avoid data rot in english?
To make it simpler, buy another hard drive and use SnapRAID (https://www.snapraid.it/) to generate parity of your disks and do a snapraid scrub periodically and it will check for mismatches in parity. One disk can protect many.

Low-Watt & High Volume data storage. Recommendations please.
Not that it's a super professional solution or anything, but snapraid(https://www.snapraid.it/) is available in Brew (package manager on osx). Which would allow for a Raid5 esque setup, with the advantage that not all drives need to spin when reading files. Researched this the other day for my own PI NAS. You could just buy some external Hdds and a 10Gbit usb hub lol, maybe get a beefy 12V power supply and a few barrel connector to bundle them to one power outlet. Usb wiring will be a mess probably. Power wise those M1s are really nice. Other option would be to get a older multi bay NAS, enable ISCSI and manage the services on the macmini.

200TB - Yearly dusting and Re-Rack
Maybe give it a go with Linux + https://www.snapraid.it/ Create a script for Snapshots and you a free to go. Works best with bigger storage pools with Snapraid as a RAID 6 structure (2 parity HDD). Is also great because you can use different HDD capacity and expand later. Just have a look on the website under "compare".

What Is Unraid?
Slightly on topic, a nice low maintence (other than a daily/weekly backup/scrub script) is mergeFS, combined with snapRaid. The main benefit is you can add and remove drives willy-nilly. It's been stable for me for the past 3 years

I need to switch away from Storage Spaces i need help deciding what to go with.
You can use another disk and run SNAPRAID (https://www.snapraid.it/) to get parity protection and protect against one disk failure as well as validate your data regularly with scrubs. It's on demand parity (meaning you schedule a parity and scrub update manually, or through windows task scheduler), and it's completely independent from your data disks.
- Buying bigger drives or NAS or what are some other options?

Building a NAS, can I do Raid 5 and non raid at the same time?
First of all RAID is not a backup! It only protects against drive failure. If there is a fire you loose it all, if there is drive corruption or an accidental deletion of files, that is mirrored across the RAID array. Also it is possible to set up both a raid 5 array and a RAID 0 array. If I were you I would use something like SnapRAID with MergerFS to set this up. I would put your /boot/, /, and maybe your /home/ directories on that m.2 and just set up a /media/ partition for your plex media and softlink it to your /home/. Same goes for the File storage/backup partition. As for OS I personally use a headless Debian install with a bunch of docker containers. linuxserver.io has a nextcloud and plex container which may fit your needs. If the command line scares you and you don't want to learn it (it's really not that bad once you get used to it) you could use OpenMediaVault or something like UnRaid which will give you a gui that you can set things up like new drives later on without learning how to use SnapRAID and MergerFS. I started out with OMV but switched away bc I could do more with just a headless machine instead of being forced into what the GUI wanted to let me do.

No live parity does not mean no parity https://www.snapraid.it/

So I have a bunch of old 3.5in mechanical hard drives with varying capacity (2tb, 4tb, 6tb, etc). I want to be able to put it all in a single enclosure (something like a Synology perhaps) and use it as a plug and play or backup device so that it shows up as 1 drive. Would that be possible?
I'm using this 5 bay DAS. I see it is going for $260 now. I bought it for $210 last March. When paired with snapraid and DrivePool it makes for a good and cheap media backup solution. I keep a local copy of some files as well as a cloud copy for important stuff.

Data rot: What are the prevention and the cure measures?
If you have a spare drive you could consider snapraid. It will calculate a parity from your data then use that parity to "scrub" the data to ensure it is valid and can use the parity to restore data if it does become corrupted. As a bonus it can detect duplicate data too.
I quite like SnapRaid for this: http://www.snapraid.it/

Show HN: MergerFS – A Featureful Union Filesystem
If you find this interesting then you might also be interested in SnapRAID: https://www.snapraid.it/
> SnapRAID is a backup program for disk arrays. It stores parity information of your data and it recovers from up to six disk failures.
> SnapRAID is mainly targeted for a home media center, with a lot of big files that rarely change.
> If the failed disks are too many to allow a recovery, you lose the data only on the failed disks. All the data in the other disks is safe.

What kind of storage strategy do you use and why?
Linux box with six drives protected by snapraid and then combined in to a single storage pool with mergerfs.
