Meanwhile, can anyone recommend a good choice of desktop drives for a simple RAID5 array? By "simple" I mean for basically a NAS box storing various files for occasional use in an office with two people in it, so not heavy usage. Obviously a set of SAS disks in a decent server would be preferable but I don't have the budget for that, and I know what the "I" in RAID stands for...
I use WD Red drives in my Edimax NAS purely because they were 'I' ;-)
I'm not sure either of you know what the "I" really stands for today.
The researchers at Berkeley may have originally defined it as "Inexpensive" but in the commercial world it is more generally accepted to stand for "Independent"
