Question: How many physical drives possible in RAID 0???

[athlonrig]

I want to make a RAID 0 volume in Windows XP out of many identical 1 gigabyte scsi hard drives...my question is how many physical one gig drives can i stripe together? Is there a limit? I want to stripe about 6 in a volume so that I can rip dvd vob files to it. Thanks for the help...

The only possible limits (that I can think of):

SCSI Controller (It is a high limit, but still there (it is more than 6 I'm pretty sure))
RAID Controller (shouldn't be a problem if you have RAID on your SCSI card, but if you're using Win2k's built in RAID, there may be a limit).
Physical Space (6 drives = big case)

But as far as RAID 0 in general, no there is no limit on the # of drives. I know of places that have 20+ drives in a RAID 5 configuration (which is similar to RAID 0, but just with a parity bit (drive)).
