I'm getting ready to purchase 3 1TB drives from newegg to add to a home server/HTPC. I already have a 1TB drive in my main machine so I'd have a total of 4 1TB drives. My question is this:
Which method of RAID would you use for your home server? Supported options are 0,1, & 5 for sure. Not sure if my onboard raid controller supports 1+0 or not. I guess I'm curious if the redundancy of a RAID 5 is worth the loss of 1TB of storage capacity? Thoughts?
