Awesome project sir, I myself am getting into ripping my blu-ray collection but I'm not even near the scale you are undertaking >:P. Anywho, since you will be rockin a raid, whether it be raid 5 or 6 (I recommend raid6 from previous experience); will you have spare hotswaps ready in the event...

I picked up a G73jh at Best Buy for $1200, it didnt have the 1080p screen screen and only 6Gb of Ram so that dropped the price a bit for me to consider it. The i7 720QM will rock core2 equivalents, it runs circles around my desktop Q9550 at 2.83Ghz. The Ati 5870m will play anything you want on...

My WHS build that I am using now is using the same hardware as before. Mobo is an ECS Geforce 8000 series mobo with a AMD Sempron LE-1250 and a 1GB of ram. I have 4 Samsung HD103UJ drives in there. So far I have had no problems with the build except that WHS didn't have drivers for the...

Its not a big deal anymore now, but just the fact that the setup wasn't reliable turned me off. I'm sure there is a solution somewhere, I just haven't been able to find one. I got most of my ubuntu build info from Tim Higgins at Smallnetbuilder.com.

I haven't looked into firmware issues with my friends drives. Right now he is running them in RAID0 and he hasn't had any problems so far...*shrug*. My original linux NAS build for some reason kept having to rebuild the array. I originally thought it was due to hard powering my box, but then...

Yea, I'm mainly trying to create a thread that primarily defines parity RAID solutions. I have only short experiences with it and hopefully y'all can share more elaborate truths regarding. Not everyone knows.

So I have researched, built, and experienced a few RAID5 setups. I built a NAS recently with the intention of archiving and filesharing only over a local network. It had 3 1TB Samsung HD103UJ drives in a RAID5 array running Ubuntu Server Ed. with Webmin and mdadm for software raid. The array...

Alrighty, so a while ago i posted my HDTune results of my 3x 500GB Seagate ST3500630AS drives in raid 0, and it had the OS on it. Due note that I'm running these on an Intel ICH10R controller. (note: with OS) So after a few blue screens and fun times with different OSes I have a fresh...

I use the HD103UJ in my NAS setup, which I'm ashamed to say my NAS is not large enough to post but w/e. Those are great drives, run nice and cool and have decent thoroughput; enough to get 100Mb/s speeds over my network;).

This is the HDTune results from 3 Seagate ST3500630AS 500GB hard drives in raid0 on a Intel ICH10R storage controller. I assume the reason why its not as smooth a transfer rate is due to the controller itself not technically being a hardware raid controller and the fact I have my OS installed...

WOOT!

I have a NAS with 3 TB hard drives hooked up and plenty of sata ports for growth. The OS is installed on a separate hard drive. I currently have it setup with Ubuntu Server 9.04 and I have mdadm installed along with Webmin. The three hard drives are in raid 5 with a 128kb chunk size and i...
