I have a hand-me-down server that I'm setting up at home and it's got 6 72Gb hard disks (as well as 2 18Gb drives that I'm using for the OS). What is the best way to configure those 6 drives?
Should I RAID 5 or 6, or go with something simpler, like mirroring?
I'm planning to use it to hold a source control repository, and possibly data for a development SQL server.
The machine has a hardware raid controller. It is an old IBM server.
