You may actually get better performance from software raid - depending
on your processor and if you need to be doing anything else while
copying files.
Here is a 4-port SIL card for $19

Whaa? I've got a 300GB IDE drive in this computer right now. SCSI harddrives
basically maxed out at 146GB...
I've seen IDE drives up to 500GB but not larger.

Anybody got experience with add-on SATA controllers?
I want to add a bunch of storage to one of my systems and eliminate a stack of
SCSI external drives (They're LOUD) and SATA drives look like the

I've been using 3Ware. It works okay. Use the 9500S for PCI-X and the
9650SE for PCI-E. The main drawback to 3Ware is that they don't

RAID 6 is a more secure RAID 5. RAID 6 calculates and writes double the
checksum blocks that RAID 5 writes.
Both RAID 5 and 6
