Hi all, here's what I want to do:
I have 5 physical drives.
I placed them all into a DrivePool.
I created a local "CloudDrive" equal to the size of the DrivePool. I made it an encrypted CloudDrive. This CloudDrive's local location is in the DrivePool.
I'll be placing my files into the encrypted CloudDrive, which will in turn save them into the various physical drives that make up the DrivePool that the CloudDrive is in.
Question 1: Does the option for "upload verification" matter when the CloudDrive is located on a local disc?
To note: I tried making a local CloudDrive with this option turned on and the UI would freeze / crash. It wasn't until I turned it off that I could even successfully create a local CloudDrive.
Question 2: What sort of performance hit should I expect? I know that everything being copied to this local CloudDrive will be encrypted on the fly, and that it's only a logical drive on top of another logical drive that finally writes to physical drives. Big performance hit?
I'm eventually thinking of creating a *real* CloudDrive in Google and adding it and the local CloudDrive to yet, another DrivePool so that I can duplicate the local, physical drives to the cloud.
Good idea? Bad idea? Am I asking for trouble with respect to performance hits?
I have a 6th drive that's an SSD that I'm using as a cache drive for all of this too, just an FYI.
Am I foolish to trust my data to this encryption? Has there been instances of data loss due to unrecoverable data?
Thanks!
