    using SBS 2003 as a workstation & adding it to the domain

    Hi Gang, I need to come up with a way to create redundancy for a workstation that runs a special application. (Raid 1) Hardware RAID was deemed too expensive.

    Software Raid?

    Hi Gang, I noticed that Windows XP Pro doesn't support software raid. I need to figure out a way to configure a windows xp system with raid 1. Hardware raid is an option of course however I'm wondering if there are any alternatives? Thanks.

    Does this controller offer RAID?

    I found an adaptec controller in one of our older PCs and was wondering if it "does" RAID. I understand that it controls SCSI disks, but it's unclear to me how RAID does or doesn't fit into the big picture. Here's the Part Number: AHA-2950U2B Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

    Brushes...now you see 'em now you don't

    Hi Gang, I can't tell you how excited I am to see that my favorite place for solving my window server issues also supports PS.

    hi Gang, Im in the middle of configuring a new server and had a general question about RAID. Based on my limited research and experience it looks like mirroring the OS and using raid 5 for data is the most common way to provide redundancy. Is it possible to create a Raid 5 volume for the OS...
