We have been getting 1.5 TB Seagate drives at Directron lately. We have already had 1 failure out of 8 in about 3 months. Luckily, we make multiple copies every night.
We are thinking about making a Raid5 system with FreeNAS using 4 1.5 TB drives. Does anyone have experience with this? ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Bourke To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, May 23, 2009 11:35 AM Subject: RE: [NF] Seeking Suggestions for backup DVD storage...
