I highly recommend them, and they are cheap as chips - so a real bargain. I would load it with good NAT/Server style disks (eg: Western Digital Red disks) and a small SSD boot disk (or even a USB stick). Run FreeBSD or Linux with ZFS in RAID-z1 or RAID-z2. Like I said is some other thread, I wouldn't trust my data on any other file system again - only ZFS for me! A all-in-one easy to set up system is FreeNAS (which comes standard with ZFS) and includes other since things like easy directory sharing via FTP, HTTP, NFS etc. All managed via a simple web interface.
It appears that ZFS is also available for Debian "Stretch", and is in "Jessie" backports. That's the original Sun implementation, via BSD.
It would almost certainly need more than an RPi to do it justice though. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
