Hi all, o.k. I know the advantages of software RAID. But wouldn't it be a viable option to use two cheap IDE drives with a hardware RAID controller for the OS and put the data on a fast RAID 5 SW RAID? I've read about an IDE RAID 1 Controller (Araid99-300, www.top101usa.com) that is working under Linux, with hot-swap support etc. Does anybody has experience with this controller? Or any ideas about this combination? Cheers, Till
