Maybe I can talk the wife into a few upgrades for the Sage box when "Uncle Sugar" sends back some of the $$$ he stole from me last year.

what's a good low cost RAID-5 PCI or PCIe controller card to use to connect some of these big disks to?
If I start with a 3 disk RAID-5 and outgrow it, I just add a 4th drive and the controller will rebuild, right? Not traumatic? If I go RAID-1, I have no way to add storage, right? RAID 0+1 is too scary. XP Pro supposedly allows for all of this (rather than having to use Win 2K server) After a lot of reading, I don't think I want to go the Linux SMB route with ext2 or ext3 file systems in an NTFS centric world. Horror stories abound, e.g., with the new D-Link NAS and ext3. Last edited by stevech; 02-13-2007 at 12:17 AM.
