[QUOTE="AIstudio, post: 373759, member: 63135"] I have a hardware controller, its a rocket raid 2460x4 and from what i can tell so far I haven't found one that will go to sleep (S3 or S4) and wake successfully? Would you care to elaborate on the above @ Phatty2x4 I do have a spare 1Tb Samsung spinpoint in case one of my drives fails. The only reason I went to a Raid card instead of the on board controller was that the on board one doesn't support the LBA of large drives. My system should be beefy enough to look after the parity creation etc (Intel Q9550, 4 x 1Gb corasair dominator Ram, GTX280OCX etc etc on Vista Ultimate x 64). After reading some over at FlexRAID etc it seems that there are a couple of things that I am unsure of. People mention that to put data onto the drive you have no idea where that data is, just that it is on there and now protected?? I don't really understand what they mean by this? If I was to create a RAID array say with the 4 x 1Tb drives and used my spare 1Tb drive (attached via eSATA) what would I actually see in windows? Would I just see the 4 separate drives with 1Tb of storage each. I take it I would just use them as normal IE putting music or anything else on there. Then when either scheduled, or manually, I would run the utility for the disparity or FlexRAID to update the parity etc. Is that how it would work? I take it I could partition drives, if needed, and I would still see them in windows as just volumes?? Interesting subject and I am sure that in the next couple of weeks I will be trying this. I am aware that these software programs prefer the data to be static, and not changed to much. Which is why I would like to get most of my films and music ripped first. Many thanks for clearing my mind on my thoughts so far. I know what you mean about RAID being a bit overkill for the home, although I am sure most will agree that you can't go far enough to backup a family photo collection and video footage (that was the main reason for the raid array).
