I own the PNY 5 port SATA PCI card (SPU5103PPB) and I'll be setting up a raid in the next few days in an effort to protect some of my data. I currently have 5 1TB drives running in an NASLite server. This is a home file server setup that is used to store photos, music, some data files, and a few movies. I'm curious how a Raid 3 setup performs on this card vs Raid 1. My original plan was to simply mirror my drives, but the added disk space that I'd get from Raid 3 is very appealing. Also, how easy is it to recover from a drive failure on this card running Raid 3...I'd be using the BIOS for all interactions since NASLite is a pretty simple Linux OS.
EDIT: I just noticed that the v1.5 firmware allows rebuilding from the BIOS, so I'll be downgrading to that version before building my array.
