Title: 2 - 4TB hard drives, right?
Post by: Lain1911 on Wed, 06 August 2014, 20:31:26

Or am I wrong? 8TB seems like all you need.

I have 8TB in my rig at the moment. Can confirm it's all I need.

I used to have 4 2tb drives in RAID 0...

Until one of them failed and I realised why nobody uses RAID 0.

Raid 5 for backup seems viable, I had zero luck building my Arch on it as a main setup though.

I only use 200 Gb.  I'm from the time when a Megabyte was considered large :P

This is my strange little setup on my gaming rig/media server. So yeah, that's all the space you need.
