Subject: Re: Raid Card controller for FC System
I've used both on many occasions, but I prefer a good hardware raid
controller, I like the idea that data integrity does not rely on my
personal "expertise" or access at the time shit hits the fan, so for
example, if a disk fails I can call the data center and say unplug disk #2
and plug in the spare disk (assuming no hot spare) thank you boodbye, I
can then head back to the beach :)
Now, I know in your case it is for home use, but hey the link I posted you
was top of the range card for only $300 and it does what it says on the
tin :)
My inquiry was due to wondering how dependable was the data integrity in a
soft RAID if my system drive craps out. I thought my data would be safer if
the RAID was less dependent on the system. I suppose any corruption in a
soft RAID after replacing a failed drive is very rare, right? That is
right, RIGHT?!?!?! *anxietyattack*
On the other hand lots of people like getting something for free and
software raid gives you that, but your subject was "Raid Card Controller
for FC System" right ?
As an aside, after alot of the back and forth on this list and alot of
intense usage of Linux at the office my computers will now all be VMWare
images running CentOS (esp after finding out there are no more FC6 updates).
