If I use OMV, I plan to use SnapRaid for parity. Is there a concern with using SnapRaid for MyDocuments folders? I have read it is mainly for large media files.
Or should I look into another parity solution?

Can someone please weigh in here on their experience and help me choose? (I'm posting on forum for both)
I'm on the fence, having a hard time choosing, have read forums, blogs, specs, etc for days now.
I need a solution that is:
1) set and forget,
2) reliable and stable (need it to just work for wife and kids when I travel),
3) works for mix of many small and large files.
I have a home file server that backs up and syncs the MyDocuments folders from/to my family's various computers, and also serves up a 3TB and growing media collection. It uses an older AMD m-350 dual core 1.6ghz processor with 8GB RAM, and an Intel NIC. 100GB SSD, 3x 4TB HDD.
My concerns:
unRAID:
4) boots from a USB (changes lost at boot)
5) non-standard distro
OpenMediaVault + SnapRaid:
6) I read that SnapRaid is for large media files that change infrequently, and I have about 60GB of My Documents folders etc with thousands of smaller filesAdditional questions:
7) Is there a performance benefit to one or the other? (I think unRAID 6 has benefit of using SSD as cache drive)
8.) Which will require less time in setup / fiddling with / maintenance?Thank you for any help. Whichever one I use gets my financial support... I'll either buy unRAID, or give donation to OMV (if happy with it)
