Hi, I need to configure a PC with RAID 5 in the next few months but I don't really have a clear understanding of the steps to do it. I understand the basic thoery of it but I can't seem to find a general instructions to help me understand the actual steps in implementing it. I also have to recommend what RAID card to buy as well as the PC. Basically I'm looking for anyone who has actually setup RAID 5 to give me some advice on the step by step setup, and the difficulties they encountered.

Hi and welcome to Geeks to Go. I don't have personal experience with RAID (to me it is an insect spray....) but I know of some resources that may help. Here is a tutorial on RAID: http://storagereview...raid/index.html
