My tiny little thing of a server is currently a mITX Intel Atom CPU in a Gigabyte D525TUD motherbother (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3549#ov).
I currently have a Samsung Spinpoint (I think it's an F1 though it could be an F3) 1TB drive and I have about 30GB left.
I'd like to expand to some type of RAID array with a decent fault tolerance.
I store movies and music on this server as well as host a website and a murmur server (both of those are very low disk use). I was thinking RAID 10 instead of RAID 5 due to it's increased read speed and expanding to 3TB of storage. I open these files on various media pc's I have throughout my house to watch the movies and listen to the music without having mass amount of storage space on each media pc.
What are my best options? I am looking for recommendations on RAID setups, controllers, as well as hard drive manufacturer and models. Also, whether or not I need to upgrade the server motherboard to incorporate all these upgrades.
Thanks
