RAID Using Windows XP Home Edition

by armchair99 . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

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.
