[QUOTE="moab, post: 512901, member: 73157"] Out of curiousity I looked at the UnRAID. Sadly it has no striping ability. For me this is a deal breaker. With striping each drive I add improves the data speeds by a factor of 1/n (where n=number of drives in the striped array). Data is transfered in parallel to all drives concurrently. I tested my system with a HDD benchmark tool to verify the performance gains as I added drives. Note that I rebuilt the array from scratch when adding drives to ensure striping was physically done, instead of relying on some software algorithm to hot add a drive. Incidently I use a SSD for my C: (OS + apps) which is much faster than even the striped array. UnRaid is a good product as far as it goes and it has some very strong power management and caching features. [/QUOTE]
