what does the wisdom on the list say here ???
the server will be low traffic for quite some time and so im guessing setting it to HIGH priority will not make a difference in day to day operations should a drive fail.
do most people set it to HIGH regardless of the machine or situational possibilites?
Setting it to HIGH will mean that drive rebuilds take precedence over OS based disk I/O. It will kill your performance while it rebuilds. If you can live with that, or if you are going to take it offline or do it at night, then fine. Otherwise, stick with low or medium.
