I've been reading the mailing list for some time but haven't come across
anybody using IDE drives in a stripping configuration so here goes. I have
an 80486DX4 100Mhz Intel clone box and two identical Western Digital 850MB
drives. What I would like to do is put one of these drives on each IDE
channel and then set them up in a Raid 0 configuration. I realize that this
doesn't offer high reliability, if one drive crashes the whole system is
down. But I have read that this will offer increased disk access speed
which is what I am looking for. My question is, Is this possible? And if so
where should I be looking for some additional information? I am student and
have some experience with Linux but want to do this more as an experiment
to see if it is possible.
