Hi,
Could you recommend me a reliable HW IDE RAID 0,1? (It can also be
RAID 5 but since we have just 2 x 120 GB IDE HD we can't use RAID 5
effectively right now.)
Files must be accessible from both SuSE Linux and Windows XP thus
software RAID can't be used. (At least I don't know about a SW RAID
which works under both systems). Both operating systems will be booted
from an internal HD, not from the RAID which will contain data only.
I'm thinking about solutions like Promise FastTrak SX4000 or TX2000
but I've heard there are reliability problems with IDE RAIDs. Local PC
resellers have no idea what to recommend.
The machine runs SuSE Linux but video must be captured and processed
under MS-Windows since we use the DV StormSE card and Canopus supports
MS-Windows only. (It makes me angry but there is nothing I can do
about it.)
