Re: [IMail Forum] off topic: IDE Harddisk limitation

[Boyd D. Moon]

Life will be much simpler if you just do SCSI to begin with... Ultra2 disks are getting very reasonable.  I paid less than $270.00 ea for the last 5 9.1Gb Quantum Ultra2's that we used in a RAID-5 Server.  Many motherboards incorporate Adaptec 789x SCSI on the board.  In a nut-shell, build a real server, not a client box.   Boyd AmeriTech Services ----- Original Message ----- From: Len Conrad To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 24, 1999 1:48 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] off topic: IDE Harddisk limitation The taiwanese are doing some boards that support several disks, even do RAID with atapi.  Take a look at www.promise.com, www.centos.com.tw,  www.siig.com to see if you can some happiness there.  These are just URL's I've come across, no personal experience. It's going to cost you money, and if you need that many disks, it's probably important data, so you should probably buy spare boards, too, since you don't find these specialty items at every corner shop. Len ============== Hi,   I just wanna ask if anyone on list has setup their NT servers with IDE harddisks.  How do we setup more than 4 Harddisk on a computer?  I only got 2 ports for each Primary and Secondary cables.  Each has its own Master and Slave.  Is there something I should buy?
