    RAID Levels in NAS Servers: A Comprehensive Guide

    Network Attached Storage (NAS) servers are essential for both home and business users who need reliable, scalable, and secure data storage. One of the most critical aspects of NAS configuration is choosing the right RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) level. RAID technology combines multiple physical disks into a single logical unit to improve performance, capacity, or redundancy—or a balance of all three. However, not all RAID levels are created equal. Each offers unique advantages and trade-offs in terms of speed, storage efficiency, and fault tolerance. Whether you’re setting up a NAS for personal use, a small business, or an…

    What Is tmpfs in Linux? How tmpfs Works, Use Cases & Best Practices

    tmpfs is a temporary in-memory file system used in Linux to store files directly in RAM instead of on disk. It is designed for fast read/write operations, making it an ideal choice for storing runtime data, temporary files, and volatile information that does not need to persist after reboot. In a Linux server environment, understanding how tmpfs works is essential for optimizing performance, reducing I/O load, and improving overall system efficiency. How tmpfs Works When you create a tmpfs mount, Linux allocates storage in RAM (and swap, if available). Unlike traditional disk-based file systems, tmpfs dynamically grows and shrinks based…
