Try 3Ware Escalade, Adaptec ATA RAID, or Promise SuperTRAK -----Original Message----- From: Joon Guillen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 3:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [plug] Linux + IDE RAID?
We are planning to buy a couple of servers to be used primarily as www + database servers [ie. a content management system]. We now need a (hardware) RAID system for these. Unfortunately, SCSI RAID systems are a bit steep on price, and I was thinking of using IDE RAID instead (we need only 2 disks per server anyway). I don't know much about RAID yet, so my question is, will the IDE RAID system work well with Linux? Does the kernel support it? Or, is RAID completely transparent from Linux? Additionaly, would you recommend IDE RAID at all, provided our current server's purposed function, or would it really be necessary to get SCSI instead? Thanks! -- Joon Guillen ================================ So computers are tools of the Devil? thought Newt. He had no problem believing it. Computers had to be the tools of _somebody_, and he knew for certain that it definitely wasn't him. from "Good Omens", Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
