    RAID-1 Boot Hardware for WHS 2011?

    The 1MB was because Disk 0 is 1MB larger then then Disk 1. From what i have read if the main drive fails the system will keep running until reboot, then you have to select the mirror drive to boot from. I have never had a system drive fail since i stated mirroring it so i cant tell you from...

    Budget HTPC

    RAID-1 Boot Hardware for WHS 2011?

    Intel RAID Expander Card RES2SV240

    Has anyone tried this card with a LSI SAS 3442E-R HBA? I read of others having success with that HBA and the HP expander. I currently have that LSI card and am thinking about trying it out with the intel expander.
