I'd like to get about a terabyte of redundant storage, so I'm planning to buy 3x 500gb WD RE2 drives and put them in a Raid 5 on my NF4 board.
I'm booting both Windows and Linux.
The things I dont understand are...
1. The NF4 board supports Raid5. Is this accelerated? I have a dual core processor so I think I can handle it if it's not. (not important)
2. Can I still dual-boot with Windows and Linux? I keep seeing mention of drivers and whatnot. To me, a RAID should look like a single drive to the OS, it shouldnt have to know anything about the RAID.
Does anyone know if I will run into issues with dual boot?
Thanks
