  • You’ll need to get a fire rated media safe, not just a fireproof safe. A regular fireproof safe will keep the internal temperature below 175C if exposed to a 30 minute wood fire - what you’d typically experience in a home fire. The 175C is to stop paper from igniting, but at that temp your HDDs would be toast.

    A data/media safe should maintain an internal temp of under 60C if exposed to the same fire. That means it needs to have much more thermal insulation, and as a consequence it will be significantly bigger and more expensive. To fit in the whole enclosure, you’ll probably have to pay more for the safe than the HDDs.


  • Your Snapraid config looks ok, although I think you’re meant to put a copy of the content file on each drive (you need it to perform recovery). Also, did you change your parity drive from a 6TB to 14TB? Your parity drive needs to be the same size (or bigger) than the biggest drive in the array.

    I’m guessing the issue is in your mergerfs setup?
