I've got this htpc, a gateway essential p3 933 w/ 384 megs of ram. I was thinking, could I drop a raid 5 card in there and make a 4 disk raid array? I want to make this machine a webserver / TV episode / mp3 server, and if I modded the front, I could fit 4 hard drives in there. There's a 90 watt PSU in it, would that be enough to power 4 HDDs / mobo / raid 5 card? It's a crap mobo, and it only recognizes 137 gigs of HDD space b/c of the outdated LBA features (I believe that's the problem), would that come into play in a 600 gig raid 5 array? (4x 200 gb hdds)

Thanks

PS, should this go in a diff. forum category?
 
answer: another system attatched via gigabit ethernet with all the storage you need.
 
thanks, I was just contemplating what to do with it, I guess it will just be a webpage server, instead
 
if i get my hands on this p4c rig i might get, my athlon is gonna do duty as a file server on gigabit

then i just have to get 4 more 250 gigs

3 more for the computer, and 1 for the xbox :D

ohh... 4 satas... and drop the IDE into the xbox... NICE and pick up a decent sata card
