what about buying an external raid-box? then you dont have to care about these questions ;) the external box is doing raid 5 with hot standby disk and is connected to the system via scsi and looks like one big drive. the box itself is full of hot-swappable ide drives and the system does not notice, if something goes wrong, because the box handles these things on its own. greetings ruediger Stephen P.
