Re: Optimal Disk Configuration

[Dathan Vance Pattishall]

It depends on what your goal is and how many disks your system will 
contain.

Personally I like a disk configuration with multiple spindels for 
performance. I also require redundancy, RAID-5 sounds good and is but I 
want the most out of writes, so I go with RAID-1+0.

Hope this helps.
