I need a relatively low-cost hardware raid solution (not pseudo
hardware) so I can implement raid five on the root and boot partitions.
For a variety of reasons, I would take quite a bit of convincing to
use software raid for this application.
Serial ATA or parallel ATA solutions are fine. The only caveat being
that parallel ATA solutions use only 1 Disk Drive per cable. it would
also be nice if there was some form of monitoring software that could
send me a notice saying that a disk drive has failed.
I've done a bunch of searching and there is no hardware vendor that
stands out in a good way. So, I would appreciate opinions from folks on
what has worked well for them and what has failed.
many thanks
