Hopefully you have a redundant PS unit. Having a UPS is not going to
help if your PS fails.
That's a very good point never thought of that. Acrtually this RAID
1 setup I'm planning
is for my desktop machine, problem is is's not built like a server so
there is not the traditional slid in bay for a second PS as do many 1
and 2u rack servers have. Unless there is some
specialty product available that somehow fits in to a tower case.
Could you reccomend a redundant PS for a desktop machine (if they
exist)?
The whole system needs to be designed for dual supplies. You can't
just plop down two power supplies in parallel without some circuitry
that attempts to monitor & balance them out.
I'm curious - why does your desktop needs so much redundancy ?
Just for fun, the first hit on a google for "redundant atx power supply"
http://www.directron.com/tc400r8.html
Seems you can just plop one into your std atx chassis . . .
