I have them on digital storage because its easier to access that way. Sorry but my media files don't need parity - I can just rerip them if drive fails. I can use different size disks, I don't waste space on parity when what I am storing does not require it.

There are plenty of advantages to this method, and yes windows 8 spaces is along the same lines. If I have files that I want to survive a disk loss so that I don't have to restore from my backup, then you can set directories to have copies on more than 1 disk, etc. Does not have to be the same speed either, etc. I can add to this storage by just buying the best sized disk, be it 1TB, 2, or 3 or even 4TB and just add it to the pool. I don't really care which one a specific file gets written too, is stored on. So I access //storage/media and I have access to all 3 drives in the pool. Its a way to access all the space of the disks under a share.

What could you possible have in home network that could not survive an outage for restore from backup? If you are running raid 10 in the home - your wasting money IMHO! I just don't see how to justify it.ĭrive pooling/extender is not a raid. You do understand that RAID is not a backup! With what you wouldn't need to use raid 10? why would you need to use raid 10 in a home setup for ever? That is OVERKILL for storing anything in your home.

And where did you come up with that? That is min install size if I recall, not what it uses.
