I'm running RAID5 across 4 discs with no problems.

System 1:
4 x 500 GB sata drives in RAID5 config.  ~200GB for OS (C:\) partition with remainder as 2nd data partition.  Created 3 plots totaling 668 GB.  Found 6 blocks so far.

System 2 is pretty similar setup, just newer CPU/MOBO/RAM by about 4 years.  2 plots totaling 683GB.  Found 7 blocks so far.

Both systems took about 48-60 hours to plot.

Mined 60 Hours. Only 2 blocks found.

Behind schedule due to a couple bad choices at start, but I'm working on it right now.

I was fumbling with both machines when the miner was released before the wallet launch, so I just picked numbers.  I went from 0 -> 800000 on the first machine and mistyped that on my second and only input 80000 (80K) so it finished plotting faster.  I created the 2nd plot on this machine to bring my total up to 800000 (800K).  After both machines finished, I calculated how much space I could use up on each machine and let them plot out their files in one final big chunk.  Now that I think about, if I had the time to babysit, I would plot in roughly 50 or 100 gig files.  That way if I needed to reclaim space for other uses, I wouldn't delete 1 file and have to re-plot it all.  I could simply delete 50 gig worth and have some more storage.  Mining would continue to hum along.

Ya, both machines are my 'work' computers - not dedicated miners.  I just made sure that I could mine with my 'work' computers.  Everybody needs 2 HD7970 video cards in their office computers - right? 

Guys, i'm not a techie. I need help. I'm getting the following error:

Press any key to continue . . .

Any help would be greatly appreciated ( i purposely put "secret" as my number).
