I have 4 identical Serial ATA drives. I'm thinking that I'll use drives hda and hdb as a RAID 1 set and drive hdc as a spare with hdd used for swap and archive storage. Another option would be to use hda, hdb, and hdc as RAID 5 with hdd as swap and archive. Which one is the better choice and what are the trade offs? Or is another configuration more sensible? I'm under the impression that you shouldn't (can't?) boot from RAID 5.
