If your server is running any critical applications and downtime is a
concern, then you should configure a RAID 5, with RAID 5 you will get (n-1)
i.e 18GB in your case. In case of a single drive failure you can easily
replace only the failed drive, and your Array will auto rebuild itself.
With RAID 0 you will get 27GB of storage, however, there is no Fault
tollerance. In case of a single drive failure your entire array data will be
lost. The only way to recover would be a complete re-install and restore
from backups.

Subject: RAID
I am planning on purchasing an Adaptec Ultra 160 Single Channel RAID
controller. Does anyone have any advise/pointers as to getting started with
this. Are there any issue that I should be aware of? I've never used RAID
before. I going to be setting up 3 9.1 Seagate Barracuda drives on a RAID 0
configuration. All comments welcome.
