Hi all:
I’ve Googled and STF’d but still can’t seem to find an answer. Here’s my problem…
My wife’s Windows XP Home machine experienced a failure of the boot HDD the other day…sadly she may lose some data as the machine was set up without RAID. I’d like to implement a redundant RAID setup to prevent future data loss. I’m thinking of using a hardware RAID solution to achieve this…perhaps RAID 10?
My question is if I use a Promise FastTrak SX4100 RAID controller and 4 80GB SATA drives will I need to upgrade to XP Pro or can I continue to use XP Home. The controller supports RAID levels 0,1,5 and 10.
