If this is for a home media server, I would suggest an Unraid server. Unraid is basically a customized slackware install that uses a parity drive designed specifically for home media.
I have been running a 24tb Unraid server for about 4 years. I have had a couple a drive failures over the years an it has worked perfectly. -- gs On Jun 22, 2012, at 5:09 PM, Merrill Oveson <[email protected]> wrote: > plug: > > Building a server: > > one 1 TB - for the OS and programs. > > four 3 TB raid 5 - which should give me 9 TB usable.
