Hi,

All I use my NAS for is a DLNA server from which to stream files. I have a Raid 5 array, because I see that mentioned the most here, but will be upgrading the storage soon and rebuilding the array. What's the preferred array for this type of use?

Doesn't really make much difference which RAID you're using if you're using DLNA.
PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.
Having network issues? Drop me an email: info@interwebsireland.com and we will get it fixed!

Have i helped you? Buy me a coffee as a thanks!

Thanks, davo, but different RAID levels would influence the available space and resiliency, wouldn't they?

Would I be good with Raid 1 + a good USB drive for backups?
