    Hi. I have a home server and trying to figure out which way to set it up. This is not server hardware but just a home-built PC with 3x 4tb drives running either 2016 or 2019 essentials. I used to just create a RAID-5 via disk management with NTFS but was wondering if it is better to set up a ReFS pool similar to RAID-5

    My server primarily is used to back up Windows clients and some files.
