IDE raid 1 should be avoided. IDE drives themselves can cause degraded<br>
performance on a machine and raid 1 would double the IDE activity. If<br>
you were to use a hardware raid option, you would reduce the likely hood<br>
of degraded performance due to IDE activity.<br>

I don't know if SATA helps any for you, but you need to look into what<br>
you can handle.</tt></font>

Sure, when compared to SCSI they are slow, but the technology is pretty
solid. I don't think we're trying to build a SAN here...</font>
