kingbunky 3 #8 September 30, 2003 Quote120gb sata hardrive (x2) striping raid config) i might reconsider this bit... true, you get 240GB drive space with very fast access, but if you lose one, the data on the other is useless... if your controller will support it, buy a third and use raid 5. faster access than one drive, slower than striping, you lose the space on one drive ( 360GB raw, 240 GB configured), but if you lose one, you don't lose data!"Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

wingnut 0 #10 September 30, 2003 not really worried about loosing data, cuz the only reason i'd be using the raid is for performance, if not then i'd lose a drive and losse the data anyways..... besides the controler only suports 0,1 and 1+0 ... it's on the mother board...... thanks for the insight though i will keep it in mind... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
