hi ya jon

yeah...i guess i was misled by the trade show (3ware) folks a few months
back..... just checked their page....hw raid0/1 only.... oh well...

-- good...  still have room for the hw raid cards...

-- been thinking....
        nowdays....80Gb IDE drives is about $300
        5x 80Gb is a ton of "really cheap" disk storage...
        400GB (sw raid5) for about $2,000

        and with 8 drives.....its gets to be a nice chunk of storage

        - and than i wanted to pull a disk to simulate a disk
        failure and see what happens....( but am lazy too )

* does NOT need to be hot swapp...
        - i like to know what died and what caused the failure
        before putting in the next disk/array to replaced the dead one

* i dont like mirroring either... cause if ya erase foo from "md0"
  than yu also removed foo from "md1"...

thanx
