Hi, I'm sure this has been asked many times and though a quick search didn't reveal anything illuminating, I'll post regardless.
I am looking to make a storage system available on my home network. I need storage space in the order of terabytes as I have a growing iTunes collection and tons of MP3s that I converted from vinyl. At this time I am unsure of the growth rate, but I suppose it isn't unreasonable to look for 4TB usable storage. Since I will not be backing this up, I think I want RAIDZ2. Since this is for home use, I don't want to spend an inordinate amount of money. I did look at the cheaper STK arrays, but they're more than what I want to pay, so I am thinking that puts me in the white-box market. Power consumption would be nice to keep low also. I don't really care if it's external or internal disks. Even though I don't want to get completely skinned over the money, I also don't want to buy something that is unreliable. I am very interested as to your thoughts and experiences on this. E.g. what to buy, what to stay away from. Thanks in advance!
