Is RAID 5 or SnapRAID the better alternative for a media server raid system?
- by rubo77
I am using a raid 5 system for my ubuntu 12.04 xmbc media server with 5 disks.
Since the data isn't changing a lot and a total loss wouldn't be so bad, cause I have another backup anyway I am thinking about using SnapRAID
It sais:
SnapRAID is mainly targeted for a home media center, where you have a
lot of big files that rarely change
The main advantage for me would be power-saving, cause not all disks have to run all the time.
Would you recomment using this? (with a regular resync script once a day)
