about to set up a RAID configuration . . .

4 x WD Raptors @ 150Gb in RAID 10 (1+0) Mirror + Striping

Any tips please??

Have an ASUS P5WD2E-Premium + P4 955 Extreme + 2Gb of XMS2 PC8500

My only questions are really whats the difference between an ICH7 RAID where you have to use a floppy boot disk and the NORMAL 4x SATA connectors as opposed to a Marvell RAID setp I ASSUME) with the alternative 4 x onboard RAID SATA connectors??

Briefly configured and ICH7 2 x Raptor Striping RAID last week - boy was it fast - but need a mirror to preserve our data as well - running into 100Gb now!!!

Quick answers please - am about to commence the installation!!!

I have gone for . . .

RAID 10 (0+1) for the following reasons . . .

100+gb backup everyday is a real pain in the ar$e and there is (despite what people say) a slight performance increase - I am happy with the setup!

Thanks for all your help!
