Hi, I don't want to use the raid als a 'real' ide-raid system. But when you have 4 IDE devices build in and need a 5th ide channel to swap data with friend or take work with younat home its quite better than to burn everytime a CD. Certainly scsi is just better. I have some scsi divices too but real scsi disks are quie more expensive than ide (at work we have prof. scsi raid with large hdd) michael.
