That will tell you everything you need to know about the different RAID levels.
For storage you're probably going to want 1 or 5. I'd suggest a hardware controller if you care about speed. You can pickup Perc 5is for like $100 on ebay, just check compatibility with your motherboard.

Sorry, it seemed like an odd question for someone aware of what RAID is.
Anyway, I use it for central storage for my PCs, HTPC, home automation stuff. I have a bunch of DVD's I've ripped, home movies, music etc that I either share or attach via iSCSI. My main goal was a central store for streaming music/video throughout the house. I started off with a Perc 5/i card, but now use RAIDz in ZFS.
