 |
|
All concerned,
I'm setting up a Shuttle Zen XPC machine running Windows 2000. I also
plan to be run Windows XP and Linux on this machine. I am seeking
recommendations or personal experiences with RAID options for the Zen
XPC. My desire behind RAID is to run a simple 2 disk mirror in a
RAID-1 config. The principle thrust is to reduce the possbility of
data loss.
My current configuration has 2 WD 8 MB cache, 120 GB SATA disks. The
Zen comes with an open PCI slot, and my current thrust is to add a
SATA based RAID card. I am looking at options like:
- Promise FastTrak S150 TX2plus
- Highpoint Rocket 1520
- other smaller vendors
Woudl very much welcome your personal experiences, including any
reasons why certain cards should be discounted, experiences with
running Linux on a Shuttle Zen (secondary issue for now), and just
basic advice on RAID and the Zen.
Regards,
Rajan |

Why didn't you get the SB61G4 with the built-in RAID-1?
