I 2nd that. Raid 5 offers very very POOR performance. While it sucks up the most diskspace, Raid 10 is maximum performance and great fault tolerance. For an i/o intensive service like a mail server or something, raid 5 will eventually cause your server to get crushed over time as the number of users increases. The you're forced to convert to raid 10. We learnt this the hard way. ;) ~~ Andy Harrison ah##@httpsite.com ICQ: 123472 AIM/Y!: AHinMaine homepage: http://www.nachoz.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 iQCVAwUBPoJ7C1PEkLgodAWVAQFDLAP+NAfyWfYOsbZkNcF6Q8v269IHdkIvxDnz 6tO7XBfbeq7EuMoLUT7/PEM7BqR8dMJH9Z/U78O2WcjDUR4Nl0qkMbTE75YZc5zN 1/iT7NYSG/+lqa1kJRggu4BvrHtmwHesySbxnNm3ong0CyTIKdVPtxuWj0zozRFW k0eFqJ9LwYE= =pk3c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
