    Setup a raid5 with mdadm, format that with btrfs.

    Using btrfs for raid is not recomended by btrfs itself.

    But setting up a raid5 mdadm array is very simple and let you use btrfs.

    I agree that zfs is too much.

    Edit: with three drives, raid1 doesn’t make sense. Raid10 i never seen it in over 20y being used by anybody.

    Check periodically for bulging batteries, you might have to remove the back cover to detect such a condition depending on model.

    I used to run a laptop as well but I have had batteries die like that twice, and that’s a fire concern as well specially if you have it stored away in a closed and never physically check it.

    Keeping charge at 70% doesn’t help, you need to powercycle the battery regularly to prevent batteries to die on you
