Three 1.5TB 5900 rpm Seagates in software RAID 5. Write speeds as high as 50MB/s, so I'm not unhappy. In the process of dd'ing my old /home partition to it, and then I'll expand that filesystem to consume the whole 3TB volume.
As I only have 1.5TB of raw disk *not* part of the RAID, I'm going to peek at compressed filesystems for the 1TB disk. Trouble is, it takes 11 hours to copy a 1TB volume *to* the RAID via DD; I don't think my backups can be daily...
In other news, it's interesting watching SMART data on the drives. The "head flying hours" counter is already higher than the "power on hours", 2.2 days vs 1.8. Go figure.
