[QUOTE="medfordite, post: 1254766, member: 205203"] Not fortunate enough to do RAID on my end, but I am in the process of building a permanent FREENAS server with a spare box that I got in a trade. I had an external hard drive on my system fail with the 'click of death' which ended up being under warranty so I sent it back. I expect the replacement Monday. I had learned that my enclosure I was using (Always On - No Power Saving Method), had used a lot of hours (Well over 10,000hours) on the drive and it wasn't made to handle that type of use. With my Freenas server, I am planning on turning it not only into a Music Server for Itunes, but also for my files and perhaps a Time Machine Volume. I am a freelance web designer and when I am making enough to move into an office (My dream), I am going to be building two boxes, one for home and then the other for the office. Then network the two together to rsync between the office and my home box for an off-site backup. [/QUOTE]
