I'm asking this here because I know you people know alot about computers. A friend of mine wants to share files with the world with the help of his networked CD-tower server. He would like a bit of saftey against hw crashes. The weakest hw link is the harddrive so he therefore proposed using his CD-tower server to store files on since it is possibly less likely to crash. He thinks this might be better than RAID.
Since RAID involves harddrives it is of course more flexible than the above read-only solution. But apart from that what would be other drawbacks of using a CD-tower server to provide files on the internet? Thanks for any input.
