Well, as I understand it, if you're not using hardware raid, specifically, if you're using IDE, then having the RAIDed disks on the same IDE controller mostly defeats the purpose of RAID (at least RAID for acceleration) because IDE can only issue commands to one drive on a given controller at a time. If you're using SCSI, then I'm not sure if it makes a lot of difference if the RAIDed drives are on the same controller or different ones. Probably depends on the quality of the controllers. This is all assuming *software* raid (i.e. md). -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
