Hello everybody,
Well i was looking at upgrading my pc with a new hard drive, cpu or ram (maybe u read the post) but i just realized i have 6 scsi hard drives laying around! I bought this server from a thrift store for $25 and it had 4, 4.5 gig scsi hard drives (7200 rpm, i got 2 more from other wierd places), dual pentium 233mhz and a shiteload of edo ram! So anyway i got all these hard drives and was wondering how do i go about making them work in a normal pc? I am aware that you need to buy a card for them to work, but what kind of card, and how much do they run for? I am going for speed also, so which raid configureation should i go for? I was thinking maybe raid 0+1, i am kinda lost here so i was wondering if anyone could help me out, thanks!
