Hi Andrew,
I think you are going to need to duck with such a statement:

Any reason you are using RAID 0 for your server? Normally when I
think of a server reliability comes to mind and RAID 0 doesn't

I'm assumming you make nightly or weekly backups?
Im using RAID 0 because I am not willing to shell out for several
drives. 2 at once is my breaking point. This is only a *home*
server, and in my opinion, I think im already being way more
conscious of reliability by choosing RAID 0 compared to average Joe
that goes for a Windows Home Server with a single hard drive
RAID 0 is actually less reliable than a single drive. Since you lose
the array when any of the component drives dies, then the
"reliability" is equal to the "reliability" of the least reliable
drive divided by the number of drives you have.....!
I've been watching this thread with interest as I'm about to replace a
4 disc RAID10 SCSI array for a home server with similar SATA drives.
I'm probably going to go with the Seagate Barracuda ES 1TB drives
(ST31000340NS ). Bit expensive for a home server, and they do not have
a reputation as being quiet, but they should last me a good while....!
Cheers
Chris
