If you are going to use hardware raid, please do make sure you have a spare raid controller, same firmware, same model. If not, you will be SOL when your controller dies.
RAID5 these days (with our very large disks) is basically asking for trouble - the odds of a second disk failing during the reconstruction are very high. But I guess you already know that!
