[QUOTE="smarty12345, post: 994021, member: 116919"] All this is great info. I knew I was asking in the right place. :) My thinking was to use a software raid app like flexraid or snapraid so I can used the parity backup option. This seems like a good middle ground of redundancy without the need of mirroring discs. Though I like the idea of converting video on the fly for tablets and smartphones, In all honestly I doubt I would do that. Im not even sure about how that works. Im guessing it only really works well on the local network? trying to stream from say, my home to my work place over the internet would probably be an issue ? Based on the comment above about and speed of sata (from 1.5gbs up to 6.0gbs) not being an issue, I would assume the more important thing then would be to get a gigabit network in place? [/QUOTE]
