Anyone using Snapraid on Windows?

I'm trying to decide between running snapraid on Ubuntu server or Windows XP..

Any got any experience?

I have

1 3tb parity drive
2 3tb storage
6 1tb storage

If I'm correct I should be good right? It's just gonna be a basic server/nas/streaming/ftp setup

I personally use FlexRaid on a Windows7 box (very similar to Snap Raid) and that configuration should work. I have 4x2TB drives with 3 as storage and 1 as a parity.

I decided on flexraid trial for now, seemed to have a better support group behind it than snapraid at the moment. And u found my copy of windows 7.. So im trying to decide between that and xp...

I just don't know if I want to do it with pooling or both pooling and backup.

I did pooling and backup and bought the license. No real complaints here. I guess the backup for you just depends on how important the data is, mine is mostly media with some backups from other desktops at the home. Would be a pita to recover if I needed to so determined the extra $20 (or whatever it was) for both was worth it.

Thanks Janus, i appreciate it.

Now i need to find out if i can get 3TB drives to work on this motherboard

GIgabyte GA-G41M-ES2L

or if i have to do it on my current board.
