RE: how does raid work

["Mark Marooth" <MMarooth@xxxxxxx>]

There are a bunch of IDE cards out there that will give you Hardware
Mirroring/RAID facilities as time and SWMBO will permit.  Check out
SCAN under
Hard Drives for a list of cards.

Hardware Mirroring/RAID tends to be substantially faster than doing the
same in
software !


Hope this helps,


Mark

Thanks mark

The second does sound ideal and simple.

           Amar,



           With only two
drives, you have two options:



           1: Mirroring -
set up your Operating System so it copies everything
onto both as it goes along.



           2: Automated
copy-over of data - set up a recurring task so it copies
your DATA directories over to another drive (maybe in another PC) once a
day.



           Personally, I
do the second....
