I agree with using a raid 1. It was actually cheaper to go with a raid 5 setup than a raid 1. This was very funny but true. 2 large hard drive costed quite a bit more than 4 smaller hard drives. I have also read that unless you do some major benchmarks you could not tell the difference in speed between a raid 5 and a raid 1 setup. I am not sure how true this is.
