Check out http://www.baarf.com While it's presented with a sense of |

humor, it's a very serious topic. Especially the PDF titled "Is RAID 5 |

Really a Bargain?" by Cary Milsap. |

I'm going to be purchasing some hard drives for a raid5 array. I'll be |
| 16 |
running them out of my gentoo fileserver. I've used md in the past for |
| 17 |
raid0, but I know it's not a very robust solution as far as partition |
| 18 |
resizing and the like. What do you suggest for a good raid solution? I |
| 19 |
haven't decided on an interface, though I'm seriously considering a |
| 20 |
buying a SATA controller and going with that, but I could also use the |
| 21 |
raid controller that's built on to my motherboard. Thanks in advance |
| 22 |
for the help. I think I want to go with software raid simply because I |
| 23 |
will be able to transfer the raid to another machine when I decided to |
| 24 |
upgrade that box. |
