Or md/RAID --linear. Given the list you're posting to I'm surprised you forgot this option. But running without redundancy of any kind will cause more trouble than you currently have. Last words of advice: In the future, spend a little more per drive and get units that will live longer. Also, mounting a 120mm fan in the bottom of that Antec cube chassis blowing "up" on the drives simply circulates the hot air already inside the chassis. It does not increase CFM of cool air intake nor exhaust of hot air. So T_case is pretty much the same as before you put the 2nd 120mm fan in there. And T_case is the temp that determines drive life. "silent chassis" and RAID are mutually exclusive. You'll rarely, if ever, properly cool multiple HDDs, of any persuasion, in a "silent" chassis. To make it silent the fans must turn at very low RPM, thus yielding very low CFM, thus yielding high device temps. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
