SCSI Raid

Hi,

About to setup a striped RAID array using an Adaptec card bought from OcUK. Should both of my drives be on the same channel or not?

Cheers,

Ok, thanks for that.

I have 2 x 15K U320 drives and a U320 controller. Will probably just put them on one channel. I'll see how much the cables are first!

Cheers,

Thanks guys.

Been looking at cables and there seems to be a big variation in cost.

What type of cable should I be searching for? Ultra320 to LVD? :confused:

Also, am I correct in thinking the cable needs to be terminated??

Cheers,

Hi,

Thanks fella. have got a cable on order Fingers crossed its he correct type!

Only ~£20 too. I hope its not a wrongen!!!

I will mainly be using my computer for gaming as well as surfiing the web and playing about with photos.

Was thiinking of using a stripe size of either 32k or 64k. Any pointers as to which would suit my needs best?

Cheers,
