I use Modwright transport (www.modwright.com) as a source and want to buy either a NAS, with 4-5 2GB HDD to store all of my FLAC files, or build a standard server with a bunch of disks.
-What drives are preferred for quality / reliability?
- Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB 64MB is very cheap in Sweden. I read that this disk does not support TLER, which makes it impossible to drive in the RAID context, is it true? What other options are there?
-Is there any noticeable disadvantage of running HDD over 1TB HDD? The question regarding speed, 5400rpm vs 7200rpm, when it comes to my goal, will it works well with 5400rpm HDD?
- I am very keen to retain all the FLAC files, then I sold all my original CD, so how the data backing you up? Good enough to run with RAID5 or is it better to burn the music on Blue-ray discs?
All tips are welcome!
