You mean "RAID 5" - not RAID 1. RAID 1 is mirroring, and would be used if you had the Synology 213 (ie 2 disks, rather than 5 - with 5, or 4, you use RAID5 so you only "lose" one disk to parity /...

Mostly PS3 users need transcoding support. Retarded that Sony still hasn't put MKV support in the PS3.

Go to the Synology site and review the compatible drives list. To be 100% safe you should stick to that list...then if something goes haywire Synology can't say "well - that drive's not compatible".

As long as you aren't doing Active Directory / GPOs / etc. with the 2900, yes. A Synology box can easily handle 25 users; that's a very low load in this day and age.

Like I said, if PS3MediaServer is setup right it will demux the MKV and play it natively. When I had it setup it worked pretty well and was much faster than transcoding.
