    Previously I've used software raid-1 for my RH7.x servers and it has
    worked extremely well.

    For this new server I am purchasing however I decided to get a 3ware
    7506-4LP raid card and 4x80GB drives. The server will do general things
    like email, web, ftp, dns, etc and will be running RHEL.

    With 4 drives, I can either do raid-5 with a hotspare or raid-10. Both
    will give me 160GB of space and theoretically can withstand the loss of
    2 drives.

    Any suggestions as to which raid array type to choose?
