Thought experiment with 6 WD Blue [WD60EZRZ] 6 TB each in Raid 0. Is it possible, is it difficult, does raid justify itself?

Question

Hard disks

The experiment is purely mental, since I simply simply don’t have enough money for six 6TB 3.5 disks (110,000 rubles). As well as for a case into which they can be stuffed.
Suppose I have a motherboard with a good (for such a raid) controller.
We take 6 such disks and get:
-The volume of one hard disk
-The read speed is 1050 Mb / s (175 * 6 = 1050)
-To hell with heat (I can tell that WD Blue does not get very hot, but these are 6 disks in one case")
Just interesting what do you say about such a Raid.
Ps I understand how expensive it is but it's just a thought experiment.
Pss Could write fattening nonsense as I am inexperienced in working with Raid arrays, and in general in assembling computers.
Psss I'm just a curious 16 year old teenager, don't be angry.

Answer 1

Volume - yes.
The speed is only linear. The need for high line speed is an exception to the rule, not a common problem. And even then on the edge of the disk, by the end of the disk there will be 400 megabytes total.
Heat - only 6 disks. One 3.5 "disk is about 6-10W in operating mode. 36-60W power consumption, and this is also mechanics - far from 99% of the energy becomes heat here, like in electronics. Quite a bit of heat is released here.
raid0 - exit from building any disk = loss of data of the entire array
A task that requires a lot of space, linear speed, and at the same time all this data is not needed and can be lost at any time ... Usually this does not occur.

Answer 2

6 disks in raid0? This is probably not the best idea (in terms of reliability, of course). If one of the disks fails, there will be trouble. Maybe you should consider another option like raid5 or 6.

Answer 3

firstly, it costs a penny, even as a student I kept 6 disks in a regular case;
secondly, the raid does not really know how to parallelize all disks and the speed will be different
;

Answer 4

It is possible, only the probability of losing all data is approximately 100% for the first year.
This is useful for streaming, more precisely, even for a cache over a huge but slow storage (over a shelf of 75 disks in 4U, for example).

Answer 5

The experiment is purely mental, since I simply simply don’t have enough money for six 6TB 3.5 disks (110,000 rubles). As well as for a case into which they can be stuffed.
A used very good case is taken for 2000 rubles. Business something.
- Reading speed 1050 Mb / s (175 * 6 = 1050) -
To hell with heat (I can imagine that WD Blue does not get very hot, but these are 6 disks in one case")
Heat is not a problem there. If the body is not complete crap.
I also had 12 disks in a case for 5000 rubles and everything was fine for several years.
But you won't get that kind of performance on a household motherboard.
Just wondering what you say about this Raid.
If you really want to save money, then at least RAID5. One disk - even.
And in this form - the probability of failure is very high.
The raid will fall apart in a month or two or three.

Answer 6

The Node 304 case from fractals is miniature and nominally 6 HDDs, if desired, 12 easily stand up)))
