Hi, I have a dual PIII-450 with 256MB of RAM here. I would like to build a RAID 5 array with 3 9,1GB SCSI disks - each on its own channel. Will the machine be powerfull enough to give a "fast" access to the disks? Or should I go for a 20GB RAID 1 level? Will the performance increase with more RAM? Better use reiserfs or xfs on RAID?
