The RAID 5 is the combination of the other RAIDS...with mirroring and 1 disk for parity check. You have to have at least
3 drives to do RAID 5 and if your parity disk dies....your S.O.L., but it is the most efficient and redundant way to do network
servers. That RAID card he had looks like the same one we use in our RS/6000 servers and costs a couple grand. I still don't
see wut the hell you would use 1.8 TB for???? That's alot of porn. And 12000 for his home PC?? That's alot to spend on a workstation.
But we did buy 7 $79, 000 IBM boxes running AIX unix 2 years ago. Money to piss away......
