I'd like to implement software raid on it at least until i can get a promise IDE raid card, which ones have user's had best successes with? My question pertaining to software raid is is it possible to set it up during the install or do i have to do the install normally then initiate raid? And which would be better, ccd or vinum? Thanks. Dave.
