volume sets are notoriously bad - they have a way of crashing at bad times - I would personally do a raid array witha good hardware (Adaptec) raid controller.

In my house there's this light switch that doesn't do anything. Every so often I would flick it on and off just to check. Yesterday, I got a call from a woman in Germany. She said, "Cut it out." -- Steven Wright

Cool.  So, I could create 3 of them as one volume so I don't have to give each drive a drive letter and then mirror that volume to the other three drives?

Duplexing to NT is the same as mirroring. Windows does not care if they are on one controller (mirroring) or on two controllers (duplexing)

I currently have a NetWare server with 6 Seagate ST39175LW drives on 2
Adaptec controllers in a duplexed configuration.  We are going to rebuild
the server as NT 4.0.  I don't think NT can mirror the drives in a duplexed
configuration like the one we currently have.  Am I wrong.  If not, what
would be the best configuration for the drives.  I was thinking of adding a
single drive on the build-in controller for the OS and using the other 6 for
data storage.  I'm just not sure how I should configure the other drives.

Thanks, Michelle
