*This Reply from / Antwort von / Antwoord van:* LLLActive@GMX.Net - 2011-06-11 - 16:41:33 +0200 So, what do you think of a combination or hybrid raid; 2 HW Raid 1's on two separate 3ware 2 port cards (169 Euro each) and that striped with a Linux Raid 0? Is it better to use a 4 port raid 3way card (250 Euro) with raid5? 4 Port has a "one point of failure" in the controller. What other controllers are good? ( eg. Areca ARC 1210 RAID <http://www.amazon.de/Areca-CONTROLLER-4-PORT-INTERN-ARC-1210/dp/B001767X92/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1307803942&sr=8-15> & Adaptec) Still another alternative is some NAS like Qnap TS-410 NAS-System <http://www.amazon.de/Qnap-TS-410-NAS-System-Festplatten-Ethernet/dp/B002PML096/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1307804132&sr=8-7>. (300 Euro, same as a 3ware card) Any experiences with NAS systems? Which are good and a good value for money. :-) Al *Original sent by / Original von / Oorspronklik van:* per@opensuse.org - Sat, 11 Jun 2011 10:26:34 +0200

@Per: I tried the methods with pata_jmicron and dmraid. They are loaded, but the so-called HW-Bios setup Raid 10 disk is not seen, only the seperate disks. I got it working with a Linux Raid. If I'm not using hardware RAID, I use software RAID (mdraid) - this is typically where reliability is important, performance less so.
