If you are able spend a few more bucks, you might want to get
a 3ware raid controller. We just put one in a server and
are quite impressed with it. The server has 4 drives, and the
we set it up RAID 5 with a spare, the fourth drive stays
spun down until you pull one of the other drives, then it spins
up and rebuilds the volume.
