[QUOTE="smarty12345, post: 991993, member: 116919"] Hi [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/erichzann.116360/'][B]erichzann[/B][/URL]. Thank you for your reply. That HP is an attractive price. But I assume one of the 4 hdd bays would have to be for OS installation? Leaving 3 bays left for data drives? Part of my issue is I wan't to home the data and the "backups" in the same system. using one of the many software raid apps available. But I believe like with hardware raid setups at least one drive would be required for parity purposes for best protection? So I get the feeling 3 "useable" hdd bays may not be enough.. I forgot to mention earlier that the 6tbs of data I have is just Movles currently. I have another 2tb roughly of TV epsiodes. The Mrs' would kill me if I had to have two "servers" running for storage [B]and[/B] backups.. I get dirty looks as it is when I mention just the cost of the HDDs.. LOL... [/QUOTE]
