A bit of a high-end question, but for those who have done it, can anyone recommend a particular RAID-5 external storage solution with at least 2TB total storage? There's a bunch of brands with these, and reviews are scarce.
Looking to do Firewire-800 to get that extra bit of output, and it needs to have support for RAID-5. I'd also prefer SATA drives, but I haven't seen too many enclosures supporting it.
Secondly - anyone have any issues installing Firewire-800 devices on Win2K Servers?
Finally - just so I understand - with RAID-5, its best to use RAID-5 + hotspare? And in that configuration, if you have 4x500gb, the total data would be 1.5tb. Correct?
