I'm looking for great preformance but I also want to so if one of the drives dies. I can remove it and the other two will work fine. Then when I buy a new drive I can just add it to the RAID setup and it will work again like nothing happen. Thanks for any advice. -- Benjamin D Adams --http://www.FreeBSDWorld.NET
