as soon as you goto software raid 5 you'll get a good performance hit. Head for the hardware raid cards then. You can get the 3ware ide cards for 150 or less now.
don't know if it is still the case but ext3 + 3ware + ext3 = ultra slow. you'd want to use XFS or some other filesystem...
argh...i missed the raid5 on 3ware part.
Ah. No, I am using RAID0 since this is just scratch space for editing large uncompressed video files.
Disks are so cheap and high enough capacity now that I don't even bother with RAID5 anymore. I still don't think (even if I was using RAID5) that I would stray from the "vendor supported" ext3 filesystem.
