I like reading the articles these guys put up and I watch TWICH almost every week. They are more geared towards consumer/gamer hardware but do post other stuff from time to time that I enjoy reading.
They recently did a big Plex/backup build and mentioned FreeNAS in the article. Unfortunately they went with Windblows for their OS and a single 16 drive hardware RAID 6 array for their storage. I'm curios to see how this holds up in the long run.
I admit my knowledge of hardware RAID is limited but a 16-8TB RAID6 array sounds like a failure waiting to happen. Am I wrong in my assumption since I'm conditioned to the FreeNAS/ZFS way of doing things?
