Redshirt 1487 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 After my tragedy I decided to make my media server more redundant than just a single raid array. I didn't want to set up a second server PC as it's just another OS to maintain. Flexraid and unraid both seemed very neat, but I wanted something that I could just fire up and forget. Enter Synology https://www.synology.com/en-uk/products/spec/DS412+. A 4-bay enclosure mirrors my hardware raid array. If the police ever show up at my door, I can just grab the box and run for Alaska too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchmor 584 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have the exact same NAS Red, its very good. I use it as my 'live' media though and back it up to my daily PC. Works well. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watch out for the synolocker ransomware going around this past month. I've had to lock ours down so the admin panels could only be access on the local network.

AgileHumor 123 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I highly suggest Windows Storage Spaced (built in win Win8) for drive pooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefirstofthe300 291 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Just a quick question, has anyone here ever used SnapRAID??? I was considering it for my server but not sure if it is a decent option. Edited August 25, 2014 by DaBungalow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
