I ITJedi Solid State Member Messages 8 Jan 15, 2003 #1 I have a server that is running 8 - 18GB hard drives in a RAID 5 configuration. I am understanding that I can lose multiple drives as long as they are not next to each other. Am I correct? Please let me know. Thanks!

OP OP I ITJedi Solid State Member Messages 8 Jan 16, 2003 #5 Thanks! I guess my real question is how many drives can I lose before data is compromised? I appreciate your help.
