Devan, I have built 150 Compaq/HP DL380 Servers and all of them were Hardware RAID 5 If I am not mistaken you only need 3 drives in order to perform RAID 5. All hot swappable drives. I do forget the SCSI controller I used but I hand built them all.
So I am not understanding the last message that said you would have gone RAID 5 but you only have 6 drive bays. Please explain if you will. Please include any RAID documentation that led you to this conclusion. Inquiring minds!!!
