[QUOTE="rtv, post: 364185, member: 12309"] At present I'd call RAID5 a poor-man's solution. Considering the cheap prices for terabyte harddisks there's almost no reason to choose the drawbacks of RAID 5 over RAID1: - much lower write performance - much pricier controllers (if they are supposed to work well - e.g. better than software RAID) - no simple disaster recovery (with RAID 1 you could simply use the remaining drive) [/QUOTE]
