The problem with Apples RAID (by someone with a vested interest in telling you) is that if/when a problem develops, it can rally crap out, even losing the volume entirely. If a disk has a disk error, it stops mirroring to it, after a mirror rebuild failure. So you have a snapshot, as of course, it doesn't tell you it failed. There is a reason a third party can thrive against a free Apple offering. Remember that it is never tested on "consumer" items like FireWire, it is ONLY tested inside Apple on XServes and XServe RAIDs. I am not kidding. And try to get support if a problem develops. If you are going to use RAID, purchase SoftRAID, for the $129, it is a great value. Mark James garlic @ veggy.com I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
