Due to a recent drive failiure i have decided its time for a new pc + raid array. I'm thinking something like:
3 X 750gb /1tb drives with raid 5 ?
Would this be a sensible solution for a home pc mainly used for image editing and light gaming use. Would there be an advantage in a further mirrored set of smaller drives just for operating system etc. Also what drives should i be looking at any reccomendations ?
Also will 3 x 1tb in raid 5 = 3tb or storage ?
Will i need a raid controller ? - I will be shopping for a motherboard next but my main concern for the new systrem is reliability so if theres a mobo which will do what i require im open to suggestions for that as well.
Any help or advice would be most appreciated.
