Hey Guys,

After this last respawn i have realized my data amount is starting to get a litle high for just keeping in my main PC.

So i am thinking of building a file server.

I will have a mobo with 6 sata ports ( 5 for 5 X 2TB Drives and 1 for main OS drive)

Just wondering what raid you would think suite best? I was thinking raid 5 hence ill still get 8TB total but will have the redundency and READ speed (Write speed is not a massive issue).

But if there are other raid solutions i would love to hear about them biggrin.gif

Thanks guys...
