Hardware & Software raid configuration

Hi, for software raid (e.g., nt4.0 server, etc.) you'll find plenty of information on microsoft's technet and knowledge base (www.microsoft.com). Search for raid, stripe sets with parity, raid 5, mirror sets, disk duplexing. Microsoft will also talkabout hardware raid, but you'd find more specific information by looking at manufacturer sites (compaq, ibm, etc.). Assuming you considering implementing hardware raid on a server you have already, look to that manufacturer first and then you can widen your search if necessary. There's also lots of "generic" discussions of both raid systems by simply conducting a search from your favorite engine. Just search for raid, computer raid or fault tolerance. Good luck.

Yes, both Compaq and Microsoft have tech doc's about raid setup on their web sites.

HPT370 UDMA/ATA 100 RAID Controller

I have this intergrated into the motherboard with 4 ide connectors (not the standard 2 but 4).. I am running Windows 2000with raid... On an affordable budget server wise this is a nice alternative without going to the expence of scsi.
