Hi Mikael, thanks for your answer. What hardware RAID1 options would I have here t= hat=20 are somewhat affordable? I see 3ware 2-drive RAID controllers for =A412= 0.-=20 here, and Promise UDMA for =A460.- I hear Promise only offers binary drivers and is only "software RAID", = is=20 the 3ware solution worth the extra =A460 (less hassle and more=20 compatbility)?
