Hello all,
I'm trying to get an external hard drive to be mapped through an alias in xampp. The goal is to be able to pull up files from this hard drive on a web page hosted on our home server. I was hoping to find a hard drive that has RAID 5, so there is a redundency so if one of the hard drives crash, none of the data is lost. I was looking at the following to fill this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707234 (the StarTech S354UFER)
Will this external 4 bay-RAID 5-external hard drive work with xampp as an alias? Can I pull up files from a web page on our home xampp server by using http://ip-address-of-host-computer/alias/folder/file to pull up the files to include inside of the web page?
If not, can any one please recommend a 4 bay mass storage device that has RAID 5 so no data will be lost if a hard drive crashes?
