Thanks, guys!
It sounds like Raid 5 is the way to go -- I'll order the hard drives today!
One more quick question: I currently have two first generation SATA
drives, and will be adding 2 SATA II drives, and 1 P-ATA drive. I
imagine that the slower drives will slow the whole process a little
bit (hopefully insignificantly?). My question is this:
Given that I'll have a wide variety of drives, will it make any
difference how much of a buffer the drives have? (8MB vs 16MB) Any
other suggestions (like buying from different manufacturers to avoid
disks dying at the same time) that I should be aware of?
Thanks!
