Would you choose: 1. RAID 1 2. RAID 5 3. Other Why? Primary use will be web application serving and a WDSC workstation. While they're not entirely compatible workloads, if the WDSC environment is used for host editing and web testing, it will have a similar profile to a web application server. Joe P.S. I find that RAID requires 100% disk overhead: each disk requires a RAID disk. RAID 5 requires 50% or less (one RAID drive per set so the more drives in the set the better, but at some point performance begins to be an issue). RAID 5 is supposed to be faster on READs, slower on WRITEs.
