As far as mainboard based RAID, the ICH-6R and 7R chipsets are HBA hardware RAID controllers; anyone who claims they are software is clueless. HBA stands for Host Based Adapter, and has very few disadvantages over an add-in RAID controller. |
Actually... HBA stands for Host BUS Adapter, not Host Based Adapter. Here's a reference in case you need it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_adapter |

Happens often? |

Once should be all you ever allow...
But, that said I do use RAID 0 on one machine that isn't critical... Has games and benchmarks on it, and thats it. If it ever bites it, I'll just reformat knowing that nothing I will miss was lost. |

Nope, you are right, and I'm not sure why I said "based" when I know it is "bus". Anyway, I edited my post to correct the typo.
EDIT: damn, see what happens when it gets too late. Typo's galore.

Reverse your last, Capitolin ;-) .
And now this corruption stuff is making me rethink this. In the last 3 days, this computer went through 4 power outages. Just when you think their over, I boot up and BAM, power goes out. All thanks to a big storm on Wednesday.
Is corruption of the data/filesystem more likely to happen using RAID0 than if you were just using an independent disk?
Also, if it does get corrupt, would the RAID0 just not work at all or would it be able to recover the filesystem as you would an independent disk? _________________ 5 home-built PCs, ASUS A6Jc Laptop, and a PowerEdge 2650 - all running Gentoo.

I missed the part where this thread got off topic and needed an injection of good information?
Anyway... I need to get a UPS too... For my PC, and more important my cable modem since it is also my VoIP adaptor. |

Well sucks for me because I'll need two UPSs. One for the desktop and another for the cable modem, router, and storage server. But I think EC is right, I think I'll invest in a pair of these. I'll run up to BestBuy tomorrow to check out what they have. _________________ 5 home-built PCs, ASUS A6Jc Laptop, and a PowerEdge 2650 - all running Gentoo.
