[QUOTE="ryan20021982, post: 501857, member: 78143"] Well I was using freenas for awhile but I ended up changing some thing around. The main server is not in raid anymore just normal drives. The backup I have the same way for now also, freenas was nice but I missed being able to use that pc to do other things also. So for now I am back to no raid at all but I actually like it this way, I just filled up all the drives and just add new movies to 1 drive just like I would if it was a raid. About the drives I have 12 total 1.5tb seagates and havent had a problem with 1 of them yet, key word yet, but I know I will eventually. I like the drives myself but I agree there are alot of problems with the firmware. I ordered a trayless hot swap bay to put in the main server and I am thinking about just have the backup drives just sit on the shelf after loaded with movies and if I need one then pop it in. Will see how this idea will work. I am always changing things, I'm like a little kid I just cant leave well enuf alone. :D [/QUOTE]
