Seriously, how many people call a doctor to say that they are feeling fine? I
have used many different methods over the years. For the past four I have
employed RAID5 with three drives and excellent results. I am soon going to be
getting a new machine up and running and a friend wants me to use RAID 10,
also known as RAID 1+0 which involves four drives.

Personally, my confidence in hardware RAID far exceeds that of software based
RAID without regards to the OS. Of course, YMMV.
