I am in need of a file server for a production company I will be running.
Basically i have LOTS of videos that I need to archive for safe keeping in case one HD fails or I need to access them at a later date.
What is the best way to go about doing this?
I was trying to look at newegg for server cases, raid controllers, and the such, but am not sure exactly what kind of hardware I would need for such a a setup.
I know I want to have it so if one HD fails then the files are spread or mirroed on another so definitely a RAID array of some sort. The computer would be ONLY used to store the files and access them at a later date, nothing more.
Could someone recommend some hardware as far as motherboard, controller, case, controller?
harddrives I know about & I was planning on using a QUAD Core 6600 for the processor.
Thanks in advance
