Need a solution for 60TB+
What I want to do is eventually have about 60TB or more of DVD and BluRay ISO images online for my media server. Currently Im using a ReadyNAS Pro 6 and a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 each loaded with 3TB drive...
An RN516 + 3 EDA500 extenders can reach 84 TB with 4 TB drives. If you are using XRAID2 with single redundancy, it would go down to 68TB (4 volumes, 6x4TB, 5x4TB, 5x4TB, 5x4TB). This would be cheaper than ReadyDATA 5200 + EDA4000 extenders (and probably quieter).
Also, note that 5 TB (and even 6 TB) drives are beginning to appear, which will increase these capacities. Though the 6 TB drives are extremely expensive.
Do you really need this on a single NAS? Deploying multiple NAS might be more flexible.
