besides using more hard drives is the raid m/b abit kt7 better than with out raid?
i am going to run a duron 600@1000
the raid would not help with only 1 hard drive and 8/4/32 burner would it
 
I don't suggest Highpoint controllers, especially as your primary data source. The Abit board uses this controller.

I would say if you want RAID scsi is still the way to go. Why double the risk of data loss?

ATA66/ATA100 / 7200rpm IDE drives (IBM Deskstars) are nice and fast alone before RAIDing. I would say the Abit RAID is only for the hardest of hardcore (ie slightly crazy), and people with nice backup habbits.


I noticed this IDE controller does RAID5... looks promising
 
I've been using the Abit KT7 raid for about 2 1/2 months now & haven't had any problems with the raid setup. (w/2*Maxtor 7200rpm ata/66 drives)
The only problem is when I push the T-bird past 900Mhz 🙁, the system will lock up & spit out all sorts of error messages. (Need better cooling!)
