An array makes them mirrored for data integrity.. I mean safety?
Striping uses both drives as one and doubles the speed, right?
Okay I want that..

How do I learn about RAID?
Is it a big deal?

I got a dual xeon server I want to use here at home, see, and I have no idea of how to get Xp Pro onto it.. Do I set up the raid config as I'm installing windows? Will I have to have some god damned floppy disk with raid drivers, like I had to have for windows 2000 and sata drives?

Also... Is SATA to USB2 pretty fast?
I have SATA drives I want to keep most of my shit on
I just want the SCSI drives to have the OS and program files
God damned sata cards are expensive? Yeah?

THANKS
