Hi all i need a little help with my home setup. Atm i have an itx htpc with an amd fusion e-350 inside a foxconn a3500 box,4gb ram,60 gb agility 3 ssd and a Hama MCE remote.
I'm using xbmc with windows 7 64 bit and i'm quite pleased of the result
I'm out of space now so i ordered a new pc with the initial intent of setting up an unraid server. It's a fractal r3 case, pentium g620, 4 gb ram and 4 2tb disks
In 3 days i will receive my stuff but i'm now wondering : why not just use xbmc + NAS in the same pc ? Both are in the same room!
I'm thinking about these possible solutions :
1- windows+ xbmc + flexraid
2- ubuntu + xbmc + flexraid
Will xbmc be better quality wise than my fusion ?
Will this monster be' able to sleep and wake up from sleep without problems of raid or disks ?
I really only want parity protection and a server with a lot of space for my movies that i can switch on to view a movie once a day
Is the separate solution still the best solution in your opinion ?
Edit : I'm reading that flexraid with ubuntu has a lot of problems (like license and write performance) so i think that option is out..maybe ubuntu + xbmc + snapraid? Any experience to share?
