I have,
2 x SAMSUNG EcoGreen F2 HD154UI 1.5TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
2 x HITACHI 0A38016 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
1 x Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
in my HTPC currently running XBMC and ubuntu.
I am planing to move all these drives to a NAS and use a small 500 GB drive in the HTPC.
I have been trying to figure out the best possible raid configuration without loosing significant space (e.g half if I mirror the two pairs)
Can I use raidz without loosing 1TB from 1.5TB pair? does anyone have a suggestion as to the best Raid configuration (or not use raid)
I have googled this a lot, and I have reached an answer cause probably there is no answer!! but any help is appreciated.
thnx
