[QUOTE="rollestonpark, post: 7670849, member: 76444"] Again depends on situation/chosen hardware. In my case with an 8 bay NAS, I like RAID5: it requires a minimum of 3 drives to work of the same size. the lost of space is equal to 1 drive. 1 drive can fail without data loss. adding more drives means getting the extra space, since only 1 drives space is lost, so 4 drives would mean 1 drive's space is wasted, 5 drives still means 1 drive is wasted etc. RAID1 is a mirrored drive, so in a 2 bay nas, it's just a mirror. RAID6 is like RAID5, but 2 drives can fail at once without data loss, but you lose 2 drives worth of space. [/QUOTE]
