before i finish my build (E350 + 5*2TB) i need to decide rolleyes: i know) on OS and redundancy plan
due to the fact that i really don't need live raid i decided to go on with snapshot raid that will be done once a week
my options right now are
SnapRAID - http://snapraid.sourceforge.net/
FlexRAID - http://www.flexraid.com/
there is a small problem with snapraid is that it doesn't create a data pool but uses hdd as they are (balancing data on 5 2TB hdd is a pain)
there was also an option of making a mix of them both, with flex for the data pool and snapraid for redundancy
