We're probably getting off topic here, but in my experience with Windows software RAID, it is a combination of epic fail and big bag of hurt. I don't even like to think about it, because it gives me the heebie jeebies. I've no experience with Linux and software RAID, but it'd be easy for me to believe that it works much better. I agree with your point though - you will need the same RAID controller to read the disks in likely anything outside of a RAID1 implementation. If you buy mass market hardware with RAID capabilities (like a Dell/LSI SAS/PERC controller) you'll be able to get it (at likely great expense) for quite some time. Other hardware...yeah, probably not so much. For reals - is the OP even considering RAID, or am I just proving how much of a loser I am? :-) -- androidtopp My SB3 is the most expensive part of my stereo. So I'm not going to brag about it. And my SBB as well...Is it wrong that my alarm clock is worth more than most of my stereo components? I need to work on that. http://www.last.fm/user/androidtopp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ androidtopp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19681 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54110 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
