I will send you a word doc on how the different raids work.
My choice would be Raid 5.
Some have had problem using 4 disk in the array and dropped back to 3 with 1 spare.
It is allways best to use the same make and model harddrives. And preferably the same hardware revision. Make sure all of the interfaces are ATA100, snaps don't like ATA133 (WD). WD can be set back to ATA 100 with the utility disk.
Expanding the ram helps performance.

The sup file is the SnapOS.
