Hi,
I am building a large media server with far too many hds to be run off a consumer mobo.
It is a core 2 duo system, with an 80gb system hd, and twelve 1tb hds in raid 1
so in the end 6tb for media storage.
As twelve/sixteen port sata raid cards are £700, and four port are about £50,
Is it possible to have three four port pci raid cards connected to the drives all doing raid 1.
If so, what would be the best way to set this up? Install vista on the 80gb, then install the raid?
Or do it in windows install with f6 etc?
Thank you so much for any help,
