The right-hand column on the EXT4 wikipedia entry says up to 1 exabyte possible, but only up to 16 terabyte recommended for max volume size. I believe I ahve read that same info elsewhere. I've circled it here: http://imgur.com/7PDDGDl

I understand EXT4 has a maximum recommended volume size of 16TB, after which it is not considered to be stable. I have 5 drives of 4TB capacity in a RAID 6 array in my N5550, so that is a total of 20TB but only 16TB accessible for storage due to double parity. Am I correct in my interpretation...

OK, thank you very much.

As far as practical vs. possible, which I didn't explicitly touch for all topics, achieving the upload/download bandwidth is absolutely possible but not practical. I have worked at B2B businesses that stream uncompressed HD video, and the data connection costs are... well, I don't know, but they...

Hi there, thanks for contributing to my thread. These are great questions, not dumb at all! I'll answer what I know to the best of my knowledge, and hopefully someone more knowledgeable can fill in any gaps. There are two issues with streaming native blu-ray format for my setup, and I would...

I'm still interested in guidance on my original question, but as an alternative, can anyone point me to documentation of a dual system setup where I might have a more traditional box like the Synology DiskStation DS1813+ that serves my media files coupled with something like a workstation-class...

Yes, AnyDVD is definitely pricey. I could FTP you a legal, non-copyrighted bluray rip if you are interested in testing.

coxhaus, I use AnyDVD HD for bluray rips. I can rip to the ISO format or retain the bd folder structure, both of which can then play through my HTPC via PowerDVD, I believe.

Thank you both for the fast response. PrivateJoker, my main mobile device is currently the HTC EVO 4G on the Sprint network (but I can only find a 3G connection in my area) but I would likely upgrade to a newer device before building/purchasing a NAS. I just installed the Synology DS-Video app...

I am looking to purchase/build my first NAS and ideally I would like it to transcode uncompressed ripped bluray content on-the-fly to my mobile android devices over 3G or wifi data connections when I'm traveling. I see some older threads that generally advise people to transcode ahead of time...
