OK so i just want through the whole 10+ TB sticky thread and man...some really amazing setups out there.
I haven't posted my setup in the thread although i am just over the 10tb of usable space.
As I was going through I notice alot of different setups....now for those using HW raid!
I know raid6 is the way to go ( I am currently on raid5 with 8x 2TB hitachi drives with an Areca 1680 - no more available ports).
what is the max amount of drives that is deemed safe for even a raid6 in s single array?
The main use of my sever is for media storage - many HD movies so it makes it easy for me to have one large drive letter vs 2.
is it safe to go raid 6 20x2TB as one full array one volume in windows?
some of you guys are all out 100TB plus....I am using windows 2008 r2 as the os. Many are using linix base. Just trying to gather all that I have seen.
