Thanks for the info. I have wanted to dabble with Flexraid but Unraid just seems to get better and better. Have you ever considered trying Unraid? I currently have been running Unraid for many years and I like it a lot. My sig has my build but since then I have updated the PSU and CPU, along with all hard drives. Currently at 104TB  of storage with 2 parity drives. My parity check monthly takes about 18 hours. Upgraded the cpu so I could run a Plex server and stream more clients on the server. Psu was upgraded because of the higher power for the 7200 rpm drives. I idle at about 100watts and have the server connected to a battery backup in case or power failure.

It is fun to have storage for whatever needs you want.

Unraid is pretty attractive and I didn't really know about it when I went with FlexRAID.  I was mostly looking for a replacement for DriveBender at the time.  I eventually will deploy a SECOND server to supplement this one, once it's hard drive capacity is maxed out, and I'll seriously look at UnRAID in that situation.
