I built an HTPC with a Terabyte tank (2 x 1TB, RAID 1) and filled it very quickly. I'm looking to add more capacity, what's a recommendation?
I've been tossing the idea of getting 1 or 2 more TB drives and run RAID 5. My major concern is the risk of the controller blowing chow, so I may invest in a controller card in case that were to occur (better chance of restoring the array) .... which leads me to the next question: Is it even pheasible or possible to do offsite backups (Mozy, Carbonite, etc..) with that much data? If you think so, do you or know someone using offsite backups in this manner?
