How to best RAID a Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
Box has 4*300GB 10k disks.
The server will mainly function as a file-server.
First install - the HP server autoconfigured itself as one big array (raid5) over all the 4 drives (837GB)
What is the best way of building this and why?

Thanks everyone! :)
So after adding a spare drive I would not use Win but HP raid software (HP ML350p Gen8) to configure it as a spare right?
Tips on how to spread out the points for this question is greatly appreciated....is there a "best practice" on how to divide the points in cases like this?

Appointing points can only be decided by you. After determining who provided the most usefull information, you award or divide as you think.
I'm glad I could help! Good luck with your new server.
