Hi!
I plan to set up a fileserver using RAIDframe - I can't afford a
hardware RAID-controller like Megaraid i4 (around EURO 280,--) and used
ones are impossible to get, so I will use the software version. The raid
will use 3 or 4 identical harddrives.
My questions:
- what is better, every drive use it's own IDE-channel (no master/slave)
or not?
- will it make a difference, if I use two 2 channel controller or a 4
channel one (like HighPoint RocketRAID 454)?
- recommendations which controller(s) I should buy?
The board, which I will use is a ASUS P5A Super 7 with ALi Aladdin V
chipset.
TIA and regards,
Ulrich
