Firstly, thank you for explaining what's going on, it's always helpful. I'm sorry but it really did sound like a homework question. (I thought the third disk meant that they wanted you to use RAID-5). :) As we're talking practice, rather than theory, I'd say in your situation, RAID-1 is the best bet. It should be faster, plus, the fact that you have the third drive means less downtime. (For RAID-5, you'd have to use the 3rd disk.) A nice little comparison. http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/expert/KnowledgebaseAnswer/0,289625,sid5_gci1100907,00.html Wikipedia has something too, that might be useful, but doesn't add that much more to practical consideration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID Assuming you're using hardware RAID, as you probably know, there's really no extra configuration involved. It's like Windows, let the RAID adapter do the work and the system sees it as one drive not seeing the mirror. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Willow: I knew it!
