not in response to the rubbish.. but in response to the "cant raid ide"
adaptec ata raid 2400a does that quite nicely.

You can't really RAID an IDE set.[Stephen Hartley responds] Rubbish!
You need a SCSI subsystem which is where the "every hard disk uses its own
controller" sentence comes in.[Stephen Hartley responds] Rubbish
The optimal for Exchange is hardware raid with the following
configuration:[Stephen Hartley responds] In your opinion - back it up with
some facts!
2 drives in RAID1 for the operating system.
2 drives in RAID1 for the Exchange logs.
3 or more drives in RAID5 for the exchange stores.
The RAID1 number of drives can be reduced from two individual RAID1 sets to a
pair of drives in RAID1 with two partitions.
If you have to use IDE then you might do it this way:
Controller 0 Primary - Operating System
Controller 0 Slave - Exchange Install and Logs
Controller 1 Primary - Mirrored stores
Controller 1 Slave - Mirrored stores
There are several options, all of which give varying degrees of
resilience/performance mixes.

I am a new in IT World and have a stupid question , I've ever post this message
but never get an answer. I want to build Exchange Server. and I plan to use
several HD (I use all IDE both primary and secondary) , they say I could
improve performance by using RAID0 or RAID5 because every harddisk use its own
controller. Can I use that ? or anyone have an idea ?
and sometimes I confuse about harddisk contoller. a friend told me that it's on
the harddisk ( PCB attached to Harddisk) but someone else told me that it's on
the motherboard or separate card.
I don't know which one is correct .
