Thanks a lot for you replies
I've configured RAID as following:
HHD1 & 2 as RAID 1 ( I'm going to install windows server O/S
HHD 3 ,5,6 and 7 as RAID 5 with HDD 8 as a hot spare
IS that OK??
I have another question please
Is it better to use DHCP on my server , or leave it to my router to control DHCP? and If I use DHCP in my router, do I need to install DHCP rule in my server????
thanks again for your help

As I said RAID-5 not recommended anymore
If capacity is an issue for RAID10 go with disks 3-8 in RAID-6 ( will give you same capacity as your RAID-5+Spare config
Your DHCP question is a new topic, please create a seperate question so it can go to the right experts

@Sajid - we don’t use the ambiguous RAID1+0 or RAID0+1 forms anymore - Just RAID10 as everybody (except parts of Dell) knows what this means ie a single stripe of multiple mirrorsets

As I mentioned above , I have 8 SAS HDD (2TP ).
you mean to use the first 2 HDDs as a RAID1 , and install Windos server OS on the first HDD , then use the rest HDDs as RAID5 for data storage??
