Default Raid 5

Does anyone have person experience, or a review to which they can direct me that would be helpful in choosing a RAID 5?

Jerry

Editing OK?: Ask first
Default Re: Raid 5

What type? External drive enclosure (you add the drive)? External USB drive system (drives included, like Buffalo?)? External network drive system? Internal controller? SATA, SCSI, or ATA/IDE?

Brian:

My understanding, since it started at zero, is doubling daily, meaning that I might be able to ask a second more intelligent question. So, I would like a RAID 10 with internal hardware control and four 7000 rpm SATA II drives in swapable trays.
