how best to do



Greetings all;

This, my main machine that backs up 5 others here, but does that with 
drives not involved with daily stuffs, and of course I'm gradually 
replacing spinning rust with SSD's.

I've been dragging my feet on updating from stretch to buster, waiting 
for 1TB SSD's to get affordable. Now they almost have.

But I do have a pair of 500 GB SamSung EVO 860's and one empty sata 
socket. Spares for the rest of my multi-machine farm, currently at 5 
other machines.

Total storage actually used on this machine ATM is around 318G. Some of 
which isn't precious.

With 2 drives and 2 sata connectors, how can I configure this for maximum 
redundancy, but not necessarily maximum working capacity?

Does that recommendation change if I order 2 more 1T SSD's? In which 
case, which of the current buzzwords tech is the most dependable?

Thank you.
 
Cheers, Gene Heskett
