I need to build a 1TB+ array sometime soon. Completed ripping my CDs to FLAC and that takes one 400gig drive (with a little head room for growth) and am running through my DVDs now. Quickly filling the two 250gig drives I have :( Looking at an Infrant ReadyNAS NV, very cool :)

I start to feel uneasy when I go below 2-300GB free. That's why I have 2.71TB on this box, 1.66TB across GbE (1.25TB of that RAID5), and 10TB on the network. :) Greg - Original Message - From: Mark Dodge [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'The Hardware List' hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent:

Neil, after looking through everything I decided to go with a RAID 5 array. It provided the level of backup I needed. The only other real option I considered was a tape drive but it was expensive for capacities of 100GB+. Definately get an add-on RAID card with its own CPU and RAM. There are

A little research turns up that while the theoretical limit of FAT32 is 2TB per volume, Windows is limited to 32GB per volumne when formatting. So I guess whatever util I used to created it was limited to 191 GB. Weird. That sucks actually :( On 2/11/06, Wayne Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Only important data gets backed up--and most of it isn't important. About 25% of the total 10TB is fault-tolerant (RAID1 or RAID5) storage. While this certainly isn't the same as a backup (both good and bad), it is close enough for my purposes. Greg - Original Message - From:
