If I'm running a RAID 5, do I need to leave 10% of the hard drive space free?

[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1668752, member: 54417"] Actually no, you need a little free space but not the 10% :-) You can fill it " almost " all up .... You don't need to worry about your OS giving up on you when that disk is full, but give it a little breathing space. Some of my external disks are at 1% free space :-) Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
