Hi! I'm setting up a RAID1 array, and in testing it by removing power to drive, I notice that about half the time the system appears to hang. Sometimes if I wait long enough, it will come back, but not always. So my question is, what equipment do I need to ensure that when a drive fails, it fails cleanly? Do I need specific drives, enclosures, cables, and/or IDE chipsets for this to work? How about some datapoints, with hardware that works and hardware that doesn't? Here's what's not working for me: Ocean motherboard with 430HX chipset MobileRack removable drive bays 2 Fujitsu 4GB drives Here's what _has_ worked for me: Promise FastTrack IDE RAID controller (using software raid, since this card doesn't seem to support it in hardware) Promise FastSwap drive bays 2 Fujitsu 4GB drives Strangely enough, I can't get the Promise FastSwap drive bays to work with the onboard IDE chipset, only with the FastTrack controller. Any comments? S. Shore
