by doing this, you mean using software raid? i tried this once and was not sucessful setting up software raid at all. if i can recall, i think i installed debian on hda first. then i tried to configure mda ... thinking this would mirror hda on hdc. i think it just wiped hda and did nothing to hdc. maybe i did something wrong?hi ya on Tue, Dec 16, 2003 at 12:08:23PM -0500, Debian User ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote:I am interested in implementing hardware RAID on a new machine I am putting together. I have read a post _Hardware RAID setup_ and am glad that it can be done w/ modules in Debian. It looks liek 3ware is the way to go. I only _need_ two disks (I think). Does anyone have a suggestion as to card/driver selection?3ware give you their drivers for using with their cards ... 7500-2 is the cheapest 3ware cards 7500-4 is for 4 drivesif you only need 2 disks... for the same $$$, you can buy 3-4 40-60GB disk drives instead and have 3-4 copies of the same thing instead of one extra copy with to "hardware raid" ( raid1 mirroring presumably ) with only 2 disks it ain't worth it with 2 disks... w/ hw raid.. if you erase important-file.txt on your disk, its gone .. but, if you have 2-4 independent disks with the same $$$ ... you have as many copies as you want going back years ...
