Re: RAID5 options

raid5 doesn't mean that the drives have to be hot-swappable as hotswap is only used if the server needs 100% uptime. What it does mean though is that you're using the least disk space possible for parity unlike a mirrored drive that uses 50% space for parity. There's a lot of motherboards now available that does raid5 with SATA including my old ASUS M2N4
