I’d appreciate a sanity check for what I’m planning to do later today.
I bought a minisforum um890 recently. It has 2 m.2 nvme ports. I have the system running nobara off one drive currently, the other is unfilled. The drive has file system encryption enabled.
I backed up the root folder of my system to a 128gb usb using backintime. I enabled encryption when asked.
I plan to install a second ssd, enable raid 0 striping on the 2 drives in bios, boot from a live USB, then install nobara onto the new raid storage.
After that, i should be able to reinstall backintime then restore my backup right?
I’ve gotta ask, why RAID 0? I can’t think of a use case for that outside of very specific high IO applications in a server farm or something.

Oh for sure it made sense back in the HDD days, but with NVMe SSDs it’s not needed for most people anymore.
Use LVM, it will give you all the features of RAID 0 and more (encryption, migration, snapshotting, multiple volumes, etc)
For what its worth browsing directories full of hundreds to thousands of 4k images with previews is seamless : )
