The applications are:<br>
for striping, HD video,<br>
for mirroring, I am very very tired of drives failing and losing all
my work and data. Yeah, yeah, I don't backup like I should, I know.<br>

The software raid that Linux uses.<br>

haven't kept up. What do you guys recommend for SATA
internal raid controllers?<br>
I have a stack of 3 in striped (raid 0?) and a stack of 2
in raid 5. Both sets were configured to use software raid
under Linux but the raid 5 did not turn out to really be
mirrored drives. Bah.<br>
I'm hoping that the 3 striped disks can be converted to
the hardware controller without problems (6 terabyte.)<br>
The set of 2 that *should* be identical, can be made
identical with dd, if I must before attaching them to the
hardware controller.<br>
<br>
So, advice?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<div>What is your application? NAS? SAN? DB?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>What software raid were you using?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>What do you mean converted?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I do not think DD is going to help you in mirroring the
discs. I think alot of raid controllers add headers and
stuff.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Why would raid 5 be parity at all?<br>
