I am about to reconfigure my PE2550 with some larger hard drives. I was going to put in 3 X 73Gb drives and configure them as one RAID 5 container giving me 146GB then create 2 volumes, one for the OS and the other for my application data. Then I had an idea to use one of the smaller drives I was taking out as one container for the OS and use the 3 new drives as another container for my applications.

 

Besides having no redundancy for my OS can anyone think of any other pros and cons from this config. I want to make sure I'm covering all bases before I proceed.

 

Thanks!
