Subject: Re: Raid Card controller for FC System
I've used both on many occasions, but I prefer a good hardware raid
controller, I like the idea that data integrity does not rely on my
personal "expertise" or access at the time shit hits the fan, so for
example, if a disk fails I can call the data center and say unplug
disk #2 and plug in the spare disk (assuming no hot spare) thank you
boodbye, I can then head back to the beach :)
Now, I know in your case it is for home use, but hey the link I
posted you was top of the range card for only $300 and it does what
it says on the tin :)
My inquiry was due to wondering how dependable was the data integrity
in a soft RAID if my system drive craps out. I thought my data would
be safer if the RAID was less dependent on the system. I suppose any
corruption in a soft RAID after replacing a failed drive is very rare,
right? That is right, RIGHT?!?!?! *anxietyattack*
Right :) - The very least you can expect - its primary function.
