We are in the process of evaluating different storage solutions both SMB and Enterprise.
Looked at unRAID and FlexRaid as they come up in discussions and need to have the facts.
Reviewing MSFT SS2012 now which is the Enterprise step-up -
* Our Hardware - NORCO 20 Bay StorageServer Chassis, Supermicro Dual LGA 2011 Xeon - 24gb mem
Qn 1) Drives - We have 10 3tb WD Greens and 10 misc 1-2tb Seagates - Can we drop all of this into the cabinet and pool them in SS2012?
Qn 2) Disaster Recovery - Obviously SS2012 is reliant on the RAID Controller not a Software solution like the others so - Does anyone have ideas
on Recovery times to rebuild 1 drive?
