Thanks. Yeah, I left it a little vague as to not sway any opinions. I definitely want at least minimal redundancy on both arrays just to ease the hassle of recovering from a disk failure. I guess I'm really trying to decide if hardware RAID is the way to go, or if letting a fast disk controller hand off the work to software (e.g., zfs) is a better option. Anyway, I'm just curious to hear what others are doing especially given all the "RAID is dying" talk that's popped up in the last few years.
