Was planning to adding a hot spare to my 3 disk raid5 array and was thinking if I go to 4 drives I would be a better off as 2 raid1 arrays considering the current state of raid5.
I just wonder about the comment "considering the current state of raid5". What might be wrong with raid5 currently? I certainly know a number of people (me included) who run several "large" raid-5 arrays and don't have any problems.
