So I currently have a HP Media Smart Home Server w/WHS and 4TB (4x1TB WD Green Power HD) and need to upgrade. I have started backing up my entire Blu-ray collection (225 Discs) to .m2ts (Main Movie + HD Audio) at around 25GB/disc on average. My music, pictures, and other files constitutes another 500GB or so making my current storage requirements at around 6.2TB. I want my new storage solutions to be expandable, fast, and redundant. I honestly couldn't stand losing the data on one of my drives to a failure, so some kind of fault tolerance is ideal. Right now I am torn between utilizing a Windows 2008 Server (Tech Net Plus Subscriber) and RAID 6 solution or another Windows Home Server solution. I would like to start within a minimum of 10-15TB and expand from there. Whatever I use I think the Norco 4020 Case is probably the direction I will go. I appreciate any feedback and advice as I am really torn right now and running out of space!
