I'm building an NAS computer powered by Ubuntu, but I'm trying to determine the best drive setup for value and reliability.
I have a 750GB drive, and intend on purchasing one more drive when I build the computer (probably 1.5TB) but I can't decide whether to use RAID 5 and maybe buy 2 750GB instead of a 1.5TB, or just buy the 1.5TB and use a script to copy important files. ANy suggestions? I want to limit spending, but still have substantial storage space.
