At the recommendation of a couple of people, I took a look at the PCI IDE controllers for the G3B&W. (My system is the revision 2 motherboard.)
Since I would be putting this card in a G3B&W400 that will be running OS 10.2 Server I was wondering if there are any obvious disadvantages to buying one of the cards that has hardware RAID capabilities. If I am going to buy a PCI card, and two drives, for a little more money I could get RAID too. Anyone using a RAID set up in their system?
Other than a small price difference, the Sonnet Tempo Ultra ATA/133 and ACARD AHArd Ultra ATA/133 RAID cards seem to be pretty similar. The SIIG Ultra ATA/133 card seems to only support RAID 0, and there is no mention of being able to boot from the attached drives with the SIIG. Anyone have any strong opinions one way or the other on any of these cards?
I would probably be looking at something like two 40GB hard drives. I will not be doing web hosting or video work. The server would host the Point of Sales software and a rather large database of my inventory.
