Well my Supermicro showed up today.  I ordered, three identical harddrives
(in case one failed) and a 3ware card for RAID 1.  When I got home, I
opened the box only to realize that it doesn't have a 64 bit PCI slot.  
Crap. Now what?  I'm currently considering software RAID.

I've used various SCSI, SATA, and IDE raids over the years, but never
software RAIDs. What is your experience with software RAIDs?  Are they a
reasonable choice for reliability?  Is it possible easily to rebuild after
a failure?  High performance is a lower priority than reliability.

Thanks,

Christopher
