[mythtv-users] RAID on Fedora Core 3?

[BARKER, Paul]

Hi

Cool !

Ditto - had to fork out for cables myself.

That's where my worry would be, especially doing writes to both arrays at
once. Look foraward to seing the results.

SATA is the way forward even if just from a cabling point of view. If I was
starting over I'd go for SATA but I just bought 5 160Gb PATA drives so I
can't really afford to switch at the moment. The controller looks great 8
SATA connections on one card. If it does work on regular PCI then it would
certainly be worth investigate.

Cheers
