Hello,
I have already a N40L and been thinking about RAID5 or ZFS (raid config) isn't really a backup solution.
Is a stupid thing to use 4x 3TB red WD disk in a JBOD config with a smart monitoring with mail alert configured so when a disk is detecting a possible failure i just shutdown, clone disk to new one and boot freenas again?
I'm thinking about use 3tb green WD disk to store externally important data as backup. I mean... copy information and shutdown it until next sync. I don0t think a 1:1 is needed.
Is a dumb solution?? I just need enough performance to stream 1 1080p film on my N40L
P.D:Sorry about my bad english
