Hi, I've going to setup a _home_ file server to store all photos & family videos, work related material, DNLA streaming and more. The server will be set to suspend when not in use for an hour or so. I've been thinking about buying 3 x 3 TB SATA disks and put these in software RAID5 (except for a smaller boot partition on all three disks which will be RAID1). Any recommendation for what SATA drives to get? Should I get enterprise drives that support TLER (or alike), or will the greener low cost drives be enough, is there something in between? Is it better to buy 4 low cost drives in RAID1 or 3 enterprise drives in RAID5? Please help, I'm completely lost! --john -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
