With the limited resources (motherboard supports 2x SATA & 4x IDE -
but I don't want to use more than 2 IDE HDD's), and small form factor
chassis, I would rather sacrifice less space (460GB on 4x 250GB HDD's)
and run RAID 10 for higher reliability & speed, then run RAID 5 and
have higher risk of complete data loss.

RAID 10 can suffer 2 drive failures, while RAID 5 only one.
