I'm currently falling in love with the idea of the HP Microserver. I was thinking of putting 4x 6 TB WD reds in one. But I'd also want data resilience, so I'm wondering if RAID 5 will be sufficient to cope with uncorrectable bit error rates and failures, or should I go for RAID 6? And in each case, which would be the most appropriate controller card?
