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 |

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. |

Thanks, will start doing my usul homework for the system and see how Vista
64 operates. Will be of great help having enough HD space for my work. Thanks again Andyb "cvp" ha scritto nel messaggio ...

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.

Thank you very much for the advice, will keep a careful eye on the Raid
drives matter as I go along. Thanks again to you all AndyB "Bill Hill" ha scritto nel messaggio ... Make sure you get RAID-ready drives, like enterprise class drives.

Personally, I prefer the Adaptec RAID controllers, FYI
