I don't believe that you can RAID all eight with a software RAID. You
must have a drive to boot from.

Raid 5 all eight together then, the more spindles the better
performance.

OS is actually mirrored on the MB's IDE channels.  These are separate
data drives.  The controllers only support 4 drives each, so I have to
split them up.  Or spend $400 on a 3Ware raid card, which I really want
to avoid :)

He sees all 8, he is talking about software raid. I would put a  mirror
set on one controller for the OS, and the rest on the other controller
raid 5 for data.

How do the drives show up in BIOS or in Disk Manager?  Do you see 8
drives, or 2 logical drives?  Are there any options to configure with
the hardware that determine how they show up?  Is the hardware capable
of any type of RAID?

This one is pretty OT I admit :).  I've got a Win2K server at home that
I am looking to do software RAID5 with.  I have 2 PCI IDE controller
cards which lets me have a total of 8 IDE drives, 4 on each.  Would it
be better to do 2 RAID5 volumes, one for each controller, or can I span
the RAID across multiple controllers and not kill performance (any more
than it already is simply because it's software RAID).

Just hoping someone knows!

Thanks,
Paul
