Hello Daniel,<BR>
<BR>
RAID6 is a standard!<BR>
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks#RAID_6">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks#RAID_6</A><BR>
<BR>
RAID 6 is a better solution as RAID 5 and RAID 1!<BR>
Both Systems can only live with 1 defect HDD.<BR>
RAID 6 can work with 2 defect HDDs!<BR>
<BR>
Therefore it is a good question, if someone has experiences in RAID 6 for HA systems<BR>
