| uh...RAID....RANDOM ARRAY of INEXPENSIVE DISKS...
kinda goes to show that raid is not meant for "new drives"
just a way to make use of old drives.
a combo of raid 1 & 5 will add a little redundancy to your setup..and should a disk fail..you can get back up and running in seconds.
THAT is what RAID offers. as a benefit it's slightly faster too. too many tweakers looking for milliseconds.
