Make sure you're not using RAID in lieu of backups. Few people have a
need for RAID in a home file storage solution unless it's to construct a
very large volume that can't easily (or safely) be achieved with
individual disks. You use RAID to assure continuous uptime, as in your
Exchange server or SQL server in the office, where a business can't afford
downtime. I'd venture that your home file server can afford to be down
for a few hours or days while you replace a drive and restore from
backups.

Subject: OT: Home RAID enclosure recommendations?
I recently started taking a lot of photos and videos, and I'm realizing
that my current storage solution at home isn't going to cut it very soon.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good price/performance RAID
enclosure (or populated solution) for home use? I'd like to have 3-4TB
available if possible.
