  • It’s way too late at night for me to give an in-depth answer, but I just wanted to let you know that if you plan on adding drives over time, you might want to check out running the disks in JBOD instead of RAID and the use ZFS to create the storage volume. Redundancy supported, and you can add disks whenever you need more space. The disks don’t even have to be the same size.







  • I was considering something similar for my Volvo 940 about around 2010. The idea was that I’d install a touch screen as an infotainment system where I could see stuff like OBD2 data and navigation.

    While not having a functioning speedometer for a little bit (later fixed), I used my phone to see the GPS speed with the screen flipped so I could get the speed on the windshield like a HUD in some modern cars. The plan was to do something similar integrated with the home brewed infotainment.

    It annoys me that I never went through with it, because so much stuff of what I’d drawn up became standard for “fancy” cars later.
