I'm definitely interested in performance and reliability and willing to pay more. This is for a server and not a workstation. I guess if I'm interested in a setup where I have 3 drives, with approximately 2/3 of the total space available, that is RAID0+1? I haven't worked with RAID before and I'd prefer my first experience to be as painless as possible. Are there any RAID controllers/drives specifically tuned for each other? I'm hoping to get some feedback on what RAID systems users on this list may recommend - and a good source for the products. Thanks very much!
