RE: [cobalt-users] [Raq4] Max Hard Drive Size?

IF your looking for a RAID solution you might want to check out the
following
link.. for what could actually be a better solution than the RAID
implemented
on the Raq4R's.

RE:IDE RAID Solution ACS-7510 RAID Kit

FYI - I to have a Raq3i with only a single IDE Channel and have been playing
with different thoughts of how to set it up with some sort of RAID.

As many in this list are aware the power supplys in the Raq's are not suited
for 7200RPM drives and even some of the newer 5400 RPM drives as I recently
found out (System couldn't power up two New 20GB 5400 RPM Maxtor drives).

Any way because of the power issue and not being terribly fond of a software
RAID the Accusys product looks like if might be the best alternative since
it uses 2 2.5" Notebook drives mounted to a 3.5" drive sled.

Well.. I guess just check it out for yourself and see what you think.  I'm
fairly convinced to trying the solution.

You need more than just the connector, there is an interface chip that
must be installed also.

What I'm curious about is on the one that only has one IDE channel, can
I add another channel; looks like no-one's tried it so I'll be the
guinea pig.
