I will be setting up a new server with a minimum of 4 hard drives in RAID 5 mode and will be encrypting all the drives with geli.
I was wondering if their would be a significant performance increase going with RAID-Z (software based) as opposed to RAID5 (hardware based).
I am mainly concern with data integrity because I am not using ECC memory, however I do have a large UPS backup to ensure my server doesn't go down.
