i would suggest not doing this. if the motherboard fails and you toss
the drives in another machine you'll quite possibly be screwed. if you
want inexpensive raid, do it in software. if you want multi-level
backups to disk, use rsync and rsback.

If you're running a motherboard that supports it, I'd go for RAID through
the BIOS. The nVidia nForce 4 chipsets have a nice RAID feature, that will
even extend across the SATA, SATA II, and IDE channels.

I am preparing to build a Linux SMB file server
the OS will go on the IDE drive
two 250GB SATA drives will be used for the data
The shop this box is going into will be closed (no work) over night.
My question is this
Would it be best ( more effiecient ) to create a linux raid mirror with
the two drives.
or
set the drives up static (sda1 and sdb1) and create a cron job the will
dd sda to sdb.
Thoughts and comments please.
