That'd be a little too jerryrigged for me, lol. I've already started getting the drives, so far I have 2 2TB Samsungs and will get more next month and am looking to build a pretty big array, I want at least 4 2TB drives but I may go up to 6. Currently I'm running the 2 I have now in a RAID 1 array but plan to do RAID 5 ultimately.
I'm just mostly worried about the commandline, I finally got Gentoo running years ago and that was rough for me, but I also played with Smoothwall and IPCop a few years later which had nicer GUIs to help but still required some commandline usage and I just never felt comfortable, even when I tried Ubuntu 10.10 last week after moving these hard drives around and having some free space I didn't feel right trying to get my sound working and gave up. I'm worried not so much about getting it set up, as that part's probably easy enough but how to recover it in the event it fails for some reason. I'm just worried that once I allow my storage to get that big that I honestly can't back it up elsewhere and not being able to recover it would be disastrous to me. Well, ok, not disastrous but an epic pain in the ass to re-rip everything.
