Yea... you can get 'em for £25 for a Raid 0,1 or less for no Raid.
I'm intending to put one in a pc as a server... so with 8 HDs in total of varying sizes.
If you want computers, I got em... yours for the taking <233MHz ish.
If you want faster I got a couple of 400MHz lying around in various states of working .. though I would want something for those. |

We have 5x80gb in a Raid 5 array at work (4 in array + 1 failover)... and IMO it's loads better than other similarly priced options. It's dfefinatley a lot faster than a SCSI soloution at a similar price (128mb cache helps )
The only prob is a Hardware RAID 5 card (go for the promise, 'cos it has 6 channels while the Adaptec has 4) is that it's £300 ish for the card.
I was actually thinking along the lines of this the other night:
6x120gb drives + Raid 5 card= 6x£100+£300=£900
Which gives 600gb Useable space
While
8x120gb + 2 x Raid 0,1 cards=8x£100 + 2 x 25= £850
Which would give you 480Gb in a Raid 10 array
However it would be much easier to start small with this configuration and it has a lot more redundany.
You can always consider Software Raid courtesy of M$ ... (need server for Raid 5 I believe... not sure of how good it really is) I wouldn't be suprised if it actually slowed the transfer rate down, but that's not always an issue.
I wasn't aware you can just add disks to a RAID 5 array.. none of the Dells we use it ley you do it AFAIK, and I don't think the promise card does... shall investigate if I got particularly bored at some point
And I'm sure we can workout what takes up all that space on Korn's hard discs |
