Hey guys, as the title states, I currently have four 250gb Western Digital IDE drives that I plan to put into a HTPC server type application. I can get more drives if needed. Basically the computer will be used to store my DVD's, MP3's and other Multimedia and will stream the content to the other PC's in my house through gigabit lan. I have a fast CPU and plenty of ram for this PC. Raid 0 is out because of no protection, raid 1 is out because to slow. I would like to hear what you guys would suggest as far as RAID 3,4,5, 0/1 etc goes, why, and what size stripping should I use. I have all the hardware I need except for the RAID controller card, what type would you recommend and why, remember this is for an IDE setup. Thanks for any help.
