Yeah; but the BIOS raid is almost always really just software raid; and on linux the built-in software raid is generally considered better than the software raid plus keeping the configuration in the BIOS. Is this different in windows? Is the bios raid considered better than software raid alone? (or maybe the software raid is only available on the $900 windows server version, and BIOS raid is considerably cheaper if you are building a desktop system?) _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
