[QUOTE="player-x, post: 190141, member: 11376"] For hardware it doesnt mater anything above a PIII 800MHz / 512MB+ will do the job If you go the software way, a P4 2.4GHz whit 1024MB+ is a minimum I had whit my 11 disk array really slow write speed 2MB/sec, but reading was fine 25MB/sec And yeah the software RAID works fine just remember that once you made your array its hard to turn it around in to hardware RAID The way i did is was, I got [URL="http://www.webconnexxion.com/raid/product_info.php?cPath=38&products_id=339"][B]this[/B][/URL] controller I got one 750GB HD then one more and one more then prices dropped quit a bit and got 2 more and made a RAID 5 array by adding them to one disk copy the other disk en merged it whit the RAID 5 array and again for the last one I cant look in to your walled but if you wand to spend less money i would go whit [URL="http://www.webconnexxion.com/raid/product_info.php?cPath=38&products_id=398"][B]this [/B][/URL]one and get one 1TB disk and go the same way i did it. I now its a lot of money but this controller card will lest you at least 10 years 8 x 1TB RAID 5 = 7TB whit the option to put in a extra card and go up to 15TB in the long run Don't see the controller as a CPU ore GPU but more as a monitor, it will lest you mouths longer Got my 11 x 160GB disk's in 2000 costed me 1000 euro and it lasted me 5 years whit this new controller i think it will lest me up to 10 years. You properly notice I prefer the hardware, its just almost 10 Years having raid0 and 5 at home has learned me that you get what you pay for and i prefer now to pay a little more then less So good luck what ever you do :D properly dint make your life easier :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
