my friend is looking for a raid server.  one requirement that he wanted was the ability to pull out a drive (hot swap) in the case of a fire emergency etc.  he wants this drive to have everything needed to recover his files. 

 

questions:

• would unRaid be a viable solution for this?
  
• what hardware recommendations would you suggest?
  

 

 

thank you!

... (hot swap) in the case of a fire ...

 

Too funny!  That is truly hot swap 

 

To answer your question: Never thought about it before, but you know that's a really good feature of unRAID... If you use a particular drive to be the "backup" for all your critical files, you can put a big sticker on it: "In Case of Fire: Yank Me Out".

haha non pun intended

 

thanks for the response .. i'll look into it further
