So I'm thinking of dropping my Synology RAID 6 NAS and upgrading to Storage Spaces. I have a number of dissimilar sized drives and Storage Spaces would allow me to use those. My NAS is maxed out at 4 drives. I've had a wonderful experience with 4 x 1.5TB drives not having one issue over 5 years.
I attribute that to the SHR (synology hybrid raid (maybe EXT4)). I'm wondering if Storage Spaces will be that reliable? Would I use Parity or Mirrored? I see Mirrored has "scubbing".
My other option is to simply create a "simple" JBOD pool and set up a robo-copy to transfer the data. (The data is all archival). For the Simple is there drive maintenance (scrubbing)?
