How much storage do you need/want? What types of devices need/want access to the storage. I could think of other questions but that should make my point. At present I have about 20 tb of bare hard disk. The idea is to consolidate = it all in one central location, grouped into an array of some type, be it = zfs, lvm/raid, or something else. It can then be accessed by any = computer/device on my network, like my phone/tablet, my laptops and my = regular desktop computers. I want the storage array to be dynamically expandable without having to = rebuild everything, which i understand something like Unraid can do. I = found out last night that zfs won't let you dynamically expand a raid = array without replacing every drive in the pool, so that went out as an = option. The hard disks are going to be in esata 4 to 8 bay enclosures.
