On the sort of hardware I'd consider running SATA RAID on, you've got at least two controllers, driving four or more ports. Blow a controller and a drive, and you're just waiting till you can afford a replacement drive and controller/motherboard. -- Simon Farnsworth [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
