FWIW, I’m sticking with WHS

FWIW, I’m sticking with WHS and may not even go to v2, since they dropped the DE tech.  To date, I see no reason to upgrade to Vail.  However, I’m planning on implementing FlexRAID again, once the latest “live” version is released.  Supposedly, this should happen in a couple of weeks, but a one man show can always run into issues.

I thought I remembered reading that UNRAID had some performance issues, but I could be mistaken.  The only reason I bring it up is due to the amount of storage you’re talking about.  If there are performance issues, they’d surely be worse with 32TB.  🙂

Also, note that UNRAID is only free for up to 3 hard drives.  With 11+ drives, you’re looking at the PRO version, which goes for $119.
