The RAIDCore allows for disributed sparing, which means it essentially creates a RAID1 across all the drives, which it then uses as a hot spare. It also supports RAID6, which I think I'd eventually migrate to once I hit a certain point.
Also, windows can't handle anything larger than 2TB, which would be reached after 6 drives in the array. Unless you use dynamic discs, which I've never been entirely confortable with.
