We've been messing with some of the IDE RAID controllers without a lot of success. All we care about is RAID 1 on a single disk (basically to get high availablity on simple servers). Our tests with Highpoint controllers indicate that the system becomes essentially unavailable during rebuild. We'd like to find an IDE RAID solution that did not suffer from this problem since the only reason we want the RAID is to increase uptime, not reduce it. Almost seems like the right answer would be a device that went between the controller and 2 drives to mirror the data. This would mean no O/S support (or knowledge) is required. But the only ones I've found do not support current high capacity, high speed drives. /\/\ \/\/
