Take a look at unRaid if you haven't already. It is has a lot of the features you are looking for--it provides redundancy, will auto spin-down the drives and supports up to 20 drives. I'm in the proces of putting together a media storage server with it. Check it out at http://www.lime-technology.com/.

Comment Make up their own ethnically appropriate name? (Score 2, Insightful) 607

This might sound like flamebait but it is an honest question...So what if in English it's the Swine flu? "Swine" probably isn't even a word in these cultures that are reacting to the use of the word. And isn't it their problem if they have literally translated it into their language. Why don't they come up with their own name for the flu and use that? It's not as if they don't have their own words for everything else. The WHO and their own local media could then use the appropriate word for the appropriate culture when discussing the flu with people from that culture.
