Windows also has software RAID (at least 0 and 1 maybe others). I have no idea how good or bad it might be but it probably works fine. I also haven't actually used it so don't ask me for advice. You can't use it on your system partition though. I prefer software RAID because it's usually easier to talk to when there are problems. Mainly it's easier because you don't have to install someone's crappy proprietary RAID management tools that aren't compatible with your libc anyway and read a new set of manuals. Hardware RAID sometimes has more Enterprise in it though, if you like that. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
