Hi there,<br><br>Software Raid 10 Is generally IMHO the best solution you can get. Stay the hell away from Raid5/6 etc because when your disks start to get full you end up with the System Starving of IO and bitmap recovery taking for ages.<br>
<br>As for the comments against the 'Green' drives, you can turn off the head parking/minimize the spin count etc by ensuring you update the firmware on the drives disabling these features (google it) before putting them into an array.<br>
