Thanks for all the feedback. I'm still a little in the dark on the parity drive thing is, that when it writes to both drives. I'm a real greenhorn. I've never really dealt with using a raid setup so, I'm learning on the go. Sorry. I just want to run kodi with the addons and, be able to stream my media, as well as backups. I would hook into the plasma via HDMI and, connect to the network with a wired connection. The Hopper has DNLA and, I believe it is upnp. Thanks again to all
