I've got a couple questions related to IDE raid that if I could get some feed back on, I would really appreciate it.
A little bit ago, we suffered from a single drive (in software raid 5) causing data corruption and poluting the array before being ejected. This made almost all the data on the raid invalid and unusable. We knew that this was probably going to happen sooner or later, but I started wondering about hardware based raid cards, and if they would handle this any better. I'm looking at a raid to have a 12x120 gig 7200 RPM ide drive setup. 11 drives in the array, and the 12th drive as the spare. Controller wise we are looking at the 3Ware Escalade 7506-12 card, but I have never seen this card in action, and I have no idea how it might handle the above problem. If any of you have used this card, what have your thoughts been? What problems did you run into? Do you recommend a different card in the same price range ($400 to $600)? Thanks for any help you might be able to offer. Chris G. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
