Exactly. In fact if you look at Compaq server, they RAID is now built in. It isn't even an option any more. You can upgrade to better cards though.

What else can one do? Get a hardware RAID controller, or buy a server with one built in. There are even some inexpensive IDE/ATA RAID controllers out there, which allow you to use inexpensive RAID disks. Adaptec ATA RAID-1200A + two 7200 RPM 60 GB Ultra ATA hard disks = $300. Not a lot more to pay for a fault-tolerant mirrored setup. :::Ryan Malayter, MCSE :::Bank Administration Institute :::Chicago, Illinois, USA -----Original Message----- From: Avi Smith-Rapaport [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 2:19 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: software mirror so why is it useless then? what else can one do? avi -----Original Message----- From: Don Ely [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 3:14 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: RE: software mirror Disk Manager in Computer Management. It's useless really, but if you want to do it.

Will be purchasing a win2k server with 2 drives in it but do not need to set up a raid or even hardware mirror. Any help would be great. I have never done it so I have no clue if it's just software, where I get it, or what. avi ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
