    Where is a good place to learn about RAID?

    An array makes them mirrored for data integrity.. I mean safety?
    Striping uses both drives as one and doubles the speed, right?
    Okay I want that..

    How do I learn about RAID?
    Is it a big deal?

    I got a dual xeon server I want to use here at home, see, and I have no idea of how to get Xp Pro onto it.. Do I set up the raid config as I'm installing windows? Will I have to have some god damned floppy disk with raid drivers, like I had to have for windows 2000 and sata drives?

    Also... Is SATA to USB2 pretty fast?
    I have SATA drives I want to keep most of my shit on
    I just want the SCSI drives to have the OS and program files
    God damned sata cards are expensive? Yeah?

    THANKS

                      I don't think I can post a link to another forum, but if you would like the url to an AMAZING forum dedicated to working with computers (from overclocking to finding a good keyboard) ICQ me.
                      I do not own or work for them, just love the place.

                              You can post url to other forums now unless you plan to steal users.

                                      I've been reading about raid.. it's not too big of a deal.
                                      Finding a god damned fucking FLOPPY DRIVE is going to suck
