I have 5x 1.5 TB Seagate drives in my Rosewill RSV 5. Capable of RAID 0, 1, 5, and 0+1
Most of my space is taken up with music, movies, and videos that I don't care to much about loosing. I backup on old external's like every other month.
I do have some things like pictures and files and other things that I do not want to loose, need current copies, and dont want to rely on 4 year old external drives.
My plan is to do RAID 1 with 2 drives. So 1.5 TB of secure space for my important files.
And then I will do RAID 0 with 3 drives. 4.5 TB of ify space for my media storage.
Do you think this is a solid solution, or would RAID 5 be better?
