Hey Gang,
Must be that time of the year again for a raid conversation, eh? :)
I have inherited a 5-year old Dell server (400SC) which is a pentium 4,
2.4Ghz, 4gb memory, and recently installed 2x160GB seagate scsi hard
drives.
While loading Ubuntu server 7.10, I attempted to setup software raid 1
configuration for these drives (which I do regularly), but learned after
the fact that this particular server doesn't support software raid...
Okey-dokey, back to the drawing board...
Can someone suggest a decent, inexpensive pci hardware raid controller
card for mirroring these two scsi hard drives under a raid 1
configuration using ubuntu? Oh, and one that is hopefully pretty simple
to install/configure too.
And, of course, if someone happened to have a used version of this card
handy, contact me off list for a quickie sale..
Thanks very much!
