Since Sean has given it his blessing, I'll ask a couple more questions.
Does the software also offer redundancy via RAID, or does it do JBOD (spanning) or something like RAID0 (striping) in order to combine the disks into single a large volume? What happens in the event of a single disk failure - do you lose only some files, or do you lose the whole volume? -- JJZolx Jim _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
