Drool-Boy said:so what are you gonna DO with all this storage space?
Record HD episodes of Emiril?
This makes it hard ... PATA ... no hot swappability and getting drives in the future will be tough ... hmmmfly said:

PCIe controllers don't exist yetRyokurin said:Im takeing that you will be streaming stuff allover your house eventually some of it high bandwidth? If so then I would say that the PCI way is going to eventually be a bottleneck the bigger the content becomes for the future you may want to go pci express or with a onboard solution that is not actually a part of the PCI bus. 133mb/s is not really all that much nowadays.

PCI-X won't have the near term bandwidth limitations
Onboard doesn't support more than 4 drives at this time
And buying a NAS thingy would mean I'd still have to build up a separate server ... although that overall cost may or may not be less.

Software RAID is never as good as hardware RAID.BozuSugoi said:I don't know alot about RAID, but I was under the impression that you could do RAID5 at a software level and not worry about using a HW RAID controller, and that the SW solutions are at least as good if not better.
I have a friend at work who is building his own Myth box that will have over a TB of storage and is using SW RAID5. I won't see him until Monday though to ask him details.
