yeah, the nice thing about IDE raids is that they're dirt cheap to setup for a ton of storage ... the problem with IDE raids is that they're dirt cheap hardware :)
my new A8N-SLI mobo is nice in that it has onboard SATA raid ... maybe once i get some $$$ saved up i can blow it on some more SATA raptors ... probably not though, those WPI loans suck
Most IDE/SATA RAID (especially onboard) is shite and completely not worth using, to the point that Linux software RAID is vastly superior. Even if I had a so-called "RAID" chipset on my motherboard, I'd disable it and use software RAID.
