How is that possible? The point of the hardware RAID is to hide the implementation from the OS. The OS addresses the logical device and the chipset takes care of the mirrorring/striping/whatever. For a software RAID, IIRC, the OS has to legwork, meaning that for a mirror array it will send the daya to both disks. Maybe this is OK for a workstation, but I don't think it would cut it for very long on a server. I don't believe there is a major performance difference for striping, especially when you have only diks and they are different controllers, but I still think you are wrong for the most part. -Roberto ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
