With four drives and Tiger you can do a RAID 0+1. Make two stripes, then mirror them. It's not as efficient, but works. I use it on a G4 Xserve with four 500Gb drives.
The other idea that occurs is to get one of the RAID pci cards that were made for the G5 Xserves. I think they might do what you want. They are for SATA drives. I've seen them on eBay, but can be pricey. --- On Sun, 3/21/10, Albert Carter <[email protected]> wrote: I am trying to setup a server on my QuickSilver DP 1.0 computer running OS X Server 10.4.11. I would like to setup RAID 5. I have 4 160GB ATA/133 Hard Drives for this purpose. However, I am have a very difficult time trying to find any PCI RAID Controllers for IDE that support RAID 5. I would go software route but it seems that Apple decided not to go the LVM router like unix and linux does so there is no implementation of RAID 5 software wise. I've heard of something called RAID-Z but that sounds like its only available for Leopard or Snow Leopard. Does anyone have any suggestions or routes I can try? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
