Hi Mikael, thanks for your answer. What hardware RAID1 options would I have here that are somewhat affordable? I see 3ware 2-drive RAID controllers for €120.- here, and Promise UDMA for €60.- I hear Promise only offers binary drivers and is only "software RAID", is the 3ware solution worth the extra €60 (less hassle and more compatbility)?
