I'm throwing the whole thing together right now for a test run before I start snipping at cabling. I was thinking to install the OS on a drive seperate from the array (I seem to have a few 200G PATAs on hand). Any compelling opinions for or against this idea?
Yea it was a good idea to seperate the system drive. I'd still go with a raid 1 for it though. You still running xp on this? If you are running any of the windows servers on it use software raid 1 on the system drive or buy a cheap card for it. That way if the system drive was to fail you wouldn't need to worry about setting up premissions and everything again.
