RAID1 is nice, but you lose 50% of your total capacity to the mirroring. I want to go with 4 drives and RAID5. I only give up 1 drive of capacity and can still lose one without losing data. If I invest money into this I don’t want to compromise too much, as it needs to last for years.

I have the ds 220 in raid 1 configuration. Going well so far.
