RAID5 options
Sort-of a follow on from Kryogenic's disk drive failure thread..

Any of us who use RAID5 or similar secure storage options for a home setup. What kit do you use or recommend for cost-effective home/small office rigs?

I'm not sure for instance if hot-swap is actually worth the outlay, although I do like the idea of trying Kymmy's shock trick. Any opinions here? Is it only really necessary on a server that's required 24/7?
