RAID 5 setup?

[tmacka88]

Hey guys,

Im trying to setup a RAID 5 and not sure how to do it as I only have the option for RAID-Z. I have 3X 2TB HDD'S. And 1X 1TB Spare HDD. Now wen I select all 4 HDDS it gives me another option which is RAID-Z2. But I'm after RAID 5 array. Can anyone help. Is RAIDZ the same? If not what is it and will it do what I want, Im after redundancy for 1 disk as well as performance like RAID 5. I am looking for info now but am in a hurry for info as this system has to be build asap.

Thanks guys.
sorry if I have hijacked this forum if there is already other info.

cheers.

I think I just answered my question that RAID-Z is like RAID 5 for ZFS and does a few things different.
Thanks again

raidz is similar to raid 5 and raidz2 is similar to raid6
