You will get the best performance out of Raid 0 but you wont have any redundancy.

if you are looking for redundancy raid 5 will be best as in regards to performance.

Also looking into your build you dont have a storage controller, if you are going to be making a software raid i would just say dont make a raid at all if you are wanting performance but that also falls back if you are wanting redundancy or not.

What is a storage controller, The Raid is for working on my projects I plan to back up at end of night to carbonite until I can get a 12TB Raid storage system that is separate from my build.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?=WD+My+Book+Pro+12TB+%282+x+6TB%29+Two-Bay+Thunderbolt+2+RAID+Array&N=11148572&InitialSearch=yes&sts=pi

Storage controller/raid controller is a device your system would have to manage your raid and all of your hard drives connect to it, getting PCI bus speeds and some controllers have cache which will increase performance.

if a system doesnt have a raid controller (physical card) usually its a software raid which will actually decrease performance as data has to go through software then to your hard drive , just to give you an idea the difference between them.

if you are using the raid to back up your data that you dont want to loose, i would say have a raid for redundancy and dont worry about performance.

when you get your storage system and you want redundancy then go for the raid 1, you will loose half your space but if a hard drive fails you should still have access to your data.

Hope this helps man, best of luck.
