    A RAID solution?
    « on: March 06, 2006, 10:48:34 AM »
    Hi everyone,

    Can I implement hardware RAID on my system?

    Specifically, I'd like to stripe or mirror (either RAID 0 or 1) my operating system and some heavy applications (database, application server) across two disks.  I don't need fault-tolerance; the reason is purely performance.

    My board has 2-IDE controllers  that support a total of 4-devices.

    I'm running Win2K Server -- is software RAID my best hope at this point or is there a hardware RAID solution that I can install?

    Thanks for your thoughts,
    pg

    Does your board support hardware RAID?  If so, then hardware is always a better choice.  Tell us more... we seek more 1's and 0's.

    RAID controller cards are available from around UK£10.
