Hi,
I'm building a home media server to replace my aging Acer H340 and I'd like to add a bit of redundancy. I use the server to stream media to my AppleTV2 running XBMC off of an FTP server (which I'll probably switch to NFS). The data isn't critical since the important stuff is backed up in two other places (this will be the third for that stuff). I'm thinking that RAIDZ (as opposed to RAIDZ2) is good enough for my needs since it's better than nothing (what I have now).
Here's my current thought process. Am I missing anything?
Case - Fractal Design Node 304 (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=75056)
MB - ASUS P8H77-I (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=71117&promoid=1338)
RAM - Kingston HyperX Blu Black Series 16GB (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=78420&promoid=1338)
CPU - Intel Core i3 3220T (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=75432)
PSU - Corsair CX Series CX500M (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=78576&promoid=1338)
HDD - 3x Western Digital WD Caviar Green 3TB (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=62178&promoid=1338)
The Case/MB/PSU can support 6 drives so I'm thinking I could create another zpool/vdev in the future with 3x3TB if I need more space.
Thanks! :)
