Is this when you use all 4 disks for the RAID 5 or just 3, or 3 with a spare?

PLEASE keep us posted with all the details (or at least me) of how every bit of this goes. I have a 4000 and been trying to figure out what drives and sizes to put in mine as well. There is another thread here on the forum where we had a lengthy discussion about the power limits of the 4000. Someone tried 4 500GB Seagates and it would shut down during start-up due to power limits. You are near that limit, so I am VERY CURIOUS on how all of this goes. I been looking at WD 320 drives because of the power limit, but this makes me rethink all of that.
