We never recommend anything other than a '''single disk install''' or '''multiple disks of the same type'''. Anything else and you are following an unrecommended setup and you will need to navigate for yourself. Repeat, we never recommend anything other than a '''single disk install''' or '''multiple disks of the same type'''. If you're thinking of doing anything else (setup your own partitions), read this section again.

RAID 5 systems (those with 3+ disks) can take a long time during and after the install for everything to sync. Reportedly, it takes almost 2 hours before the disks finally finish syncing on 4 X 80GB disks.
