    Question Is it worth me setting Raid 0, 1 or 5?

    I've got my new hardware arriving today
    Code:
    http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?7583-Looking-to-re-build-my-Windows-desktop-advice-on-new-mobo-CPU-and-RAM-please&p=58388&viewfull=1#post58388
    Now I'm not sure wither to bother setting up Raid or not. These are my choices: -

    1. Raid 0 using 2x 250GB. Will have to take regular backups.
    2. Raid 1 using 2x 250GB. Shouldn't need as many backups as mirrored. Is speed affected? As data is written to two drives at once.
    3. Raid 5 using 3x 1TB. This is prob my favourite choice, but I read that write speed can be affected.

    Not sure to bother or just stick with a standard setup and take regular backups. Anyone here used raid?

    I think I'm going to do is setup the system as with 2x 250GB as Raid 0. Then I've got a 1TB for important data. Once everything is running I'll setup every other day backup to my external USB3.0 drive.

    @ Bob, yep eventually I think I'm gonna invest in a quality NAS.
