[mythtv-users] OT Hardware RAID 5 Recommendations

[George Galt]

Brett:

Thanks, I'm looking for RAID5 which requires that a parity bit be set
across all of the disks.  This requires a fair bit of horsepower.
RAID1 is (if I remember correctly) simply a mirror, which would be a
waste of disk space.  On that point, I'm not sure if software RAID
does level 5.
