I doubt it. Even looking at used cards on eBay, they tend to run a bit more than that. If you're doing PATA (traditional IDE), you can probably find something like a MegaRAID i4 for somewhere between $100 and $150. For SATA, you might find an Adaptec 2610SA or its Dell-branded equivalent in the $125-$150 range on a good day. I haven't looked for SCSI RAID cards for a while, but they're likely to be more expensive. (So, of course, are the drives.) > My second question is, if I did do the RAID 0 setup, and if > I noticed one disk begins to fail, is it possible to somehow > transfer the remaining good portions to a different disk > without having to rebuild the whole array? Not with RAID 0. You'd have to rebuild the array. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
