The machine will be a AthlonXP 2000+, 1G RAM, 2x Cheetah X15 36LP series drive of 18GB. And I could spare a 20G ATA100 IDE drive. I have no experience with vinum, so i want to ask you if it is a good ideea to add the IDE drive. I was thinking to use it as a backup drive in case the SCSI controller fail. I'm courios about what impact will have on the performance of the system and as the server will have to enter in production in a few days I do not have the time to play with.
