This is true not only for the reliability reason mentioned, but for performance as well. IIRC, only one device per IDE bus can "talk" at a given moment in time. > Do you have any information on whether the above (needing to > have different drives on different IDE buses) is true for SATA too? SATA doesn't have the ability to have primary/secondard devices as IDE does. It's a simple 1:1 port:device ratio, so AFAIK there shouldn't be any "IDE-ish" problems on software RAID sets comprised of SATA devices. -- David Aquilina [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
