In terms of video edit data the RAID level you use won't have much impact on performance. For redundancy RAID5 with 3 drives can be superior to RAID1 with 2 drives, but it depends how you set it up. Ideally if you're really worried you would take a backup onto a separate drive or onto a DVD/Tape. Netgear have a pretty good selection of NAS devices which support from 2 to a number of drives.

I read Raid 5 is good but, I don't know about Raid 0+1 and 6 and 10 and other raid systems. what is the fast without losing a lot of spaces? Hello,

We need the best storage system to use it as storage and share NAS drive with the best configuration to keep the data protected and ultra fast.

what you suggest for us?

I read Raid 5 is good but, I don’t know about Raid 0+1 and 6 and 10 and other raid systems.
what is the fast without losing a lot of spaces?
