I'm planning to stripe two disks into a RAID0 configuration. As far as I can tell, my hardware has no hardware RAID support and therefore I'll be going the software route. The machine in question is a workstation used to process large datasets (audio and video) and do lots of compilation. Simple question then as the handbook describes both ccd and gvinum - which should I pick?
