Here is what I want to do.
I want to triple boot. XP, Vista and Ubuntu.
I have 4* 250GB Hard Drives. I am willing to purchase a 5th drive.
My Mobo has raid 5 support now and i have 3 in raid 5 with my XP install on it and Vista on the 4th drive (never installed ubuntu)
Raid 5 SUCKS (either that or its that its XP 64).
I want the best performance, but I do want some type of comfort that my data wont be lost. I need some suggestions.
I am not as concerned about my OS HD's dying. I can deal with most of that. Should a HD Die I would hate to lose my data, I can live with losing saved games and stuff like that.
I am almost thinking that maybe I should just have 2 Raid 0 arrays and worry about backing everything up to another HD.
How can I setup all 3 on a Raid 0?
What Order?
I have raid 5 now and it sucks so i am going to back everything up and start over.
