P67 sever storage setup

[trick0502]

I have a p67/3470 setup that will be running 12r2. What would be the best way to setup my storage? I'll be using a 120gb ssd for the os, no questions there.

I have three 1tb seagate hhds that I will use for data. What would be the most efficient way to setup this storage? The data will be backed up to a external hdd.

What are your needs for storage? With 3 1TB drives, your options are RAID1, RAID0, RAID5, 3-way mirror or JBOD.

What it really comes down to is raid 5 or storage spaces. I was going to do raid 5 until I started reading about 5-10mb writes. Would storage spaces be a better option than raid 5 on the intel controller?

The read and write speeds depend on what hardware you have so not everyone will get low speeds like 5-10 I have used raid 5/6 with 70-120 write speeds with a lsi 8888elp
