Hi, > As for storage, I might suggest a RAID5 or RAID6 with 4 TB SATA drives. The > drives are pretty much going to be write once and read a few, pretty static > in other words. Depending on the type of back-up you need, no RAID may be better. It really depends on what you intend to do with your data. > Also, if you want > to keep growing the repository, they have 45 disk expansion chassis.

Automount should be able to spin-up the disk before mounting and sping-down after dismounting. BR, Olivier
