that's very helpful. I'll reshop for nForce 570 boards. i think my
untested guess was an nForce 630 or something, so it probably won't
work.
I would add:
1. do not get three disks all from the same manufacturer
2. get four disks and do raidz2.
In addition to increasing MTTF, this is good because if you need
to leave in a hurry, you can grab two of the disks and still leave
behind a working file server. I think this is important for home
setups.
3. burn in the raidset for at least one month before trusting the
disks to not all fail simultaneously.
The three steps are really necessary with the bottom-shelf drives they
are feeding us.
