Raid 5 HD with Vista 64?
Evening to all
I have in mind of assembling a new high performance Pc with Raid 5 disk's and Vista Business 64 bit operating system. My pc now has Vista Business 64 and Raid 0 disk's and I am fully satisfied but need to set up a second working stationa and would like to know if anyone has tried Vista 64 with Raid 5 HD. Any news would be great AndyB

Any news would be great AndyB Sure from day one. The only thing you need to ensure is that there are 64 bit Vista drivers available for whichever card/onboard Raid you choose.

Raid 5 HD with Vista 64?
No great hassles with drivers and software, all my software and hardware is
compatible and will probably have an Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard. I have been using Raid 0 for quite a few years and fully use their potential but was told Raid 5 was more secure and better for heavy workloads. Any hassles encountered on your side with Raid 5 : Vista system? Thanks AndyB "cvp" ha scritto nel messaggio ...

In fact, the availability of more than 2TB "drives" was a major reason for my moving to Vista.

Raid 5 HD with Vista 64?
Make sure you get RAID-ready drives, like enterprise class drives. If it
doesn't say RAID, it isn't ready. Why? Because RAID drives need tight control of timing windows, and may desktop-class drives assume you have only one, so if they need to do a quick re-cal, you'll wait for it. In an array, the ready status of each drive can't fluctuate for any reason. WD is a proven source for good drives in each class, just read the specs on your preferred choice. Have fun.
