I am currently using a raid5 hardware box which i have encrypted with truecrypt. The read/write speed is perfect, but the hardware is not very reliable.
I want to replace that with an jbod box and clouddrive for encryption and drivepool, well for pooling.
because I want single disks to still be usable on their own, I intent to create a encrypted "clouddrive" with local disk provider on every disk and then pool them.
But I am concerned about the many layers. I have an file based system (pool) on top of an block level device (cloud) on top of a standard file system again on block level harddrive. I would be great if coulddrive could be used like truecrypt for providers which support block level access (like local disk)
Then there would be one layer less inbetween.
Is my concern justified or would the performance difference be minimal? (I have not yet bought the jbod box, so I cannot run a comparison).
