[QUOTE="whaase, post: 501589, member: 65471"] I like it. Nice clean setup. I was going to suggest SyncBack for syncing between servers, but if your thinking freeNAS, then it has rsync built in. I almost went with freenas, but I opted for Ubuntu Server. I liked the idea of the ability to grow a raid as I run out of space. And the linux raid is much faster then bsd (almost twice as fast from my testing). Keep in mind aswell. If your main server is 6*1.5 raid0 that's a little less then 9TB or so. Same drives in a Raid 5 is a little less then 7.5TB. I understand what you are trying to do with using the raid 0, but as others have said, that is dangerous. And after reading all the issues with 1.5 and 2TB drives still, I'd really be scared lol we flat out refuse to use them in our servers at work until they have a better track record. They remind me of the 20 gig drives when they first came out. Lots and lots of dead drives that we tossed/returned Just some food for thought. [/QUOTE]
