Hi bbeckett, RAID levels are RAID 0 with full striping and no recoverability from drive failure, and RAID 5 with striping and redundancy to recover from one complete drive failure. http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/diskdrls/ramref/ramref5.htm http://www.eirespace.com/raid/raid.htm http://www.itp-journals.com/nasample/T0914.pdf I use RAID 0 - because of its speed - however, you'd better have great backups!
