I am trying to build a storage server for a mymovies3 server. I have been gathering hardware and bought alot of things soo far and need to see what is the best way to share the data to the other pc's. At this time I am using 4x 2TB drives on an Asus P6 Deluxe with a Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 at this time using it to plug the 4 WD drives on. I am trying to figure out what kind of raid card to use to run some of these drives in a raid array.
I currently have 20x 2TB WD20EADS drives along with a slew of other drives.
My pc's in use right now with Mymovies are:
