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!
