Posting the same question in two different forums will not get you twice as many answers.

I won't be adding anything else to your thread. Be advised that I do not have the empowerment to block or prevent other members from answering you, and even if I did I would not. If they want to answer you, they will. I'm not keeping them from doing so. Also, I suspect that if I hadn't given you the gentle hint that putting the same post in multiple forums is frowned upon, someone else may have done so in a much more vehement manner.

Behave. Both of you.
Don't call me a heavy hitter. That's silly. If you want a quality multi-channel card for RAID, look at 3ware. If all you need is an extra place to hang a JBOD of 5400rpm drives, hey, that's why we like Promise (well, not like. Tolerate with only occasional cursing).

Something that you should know is that most of our members usually visit ALL the forums. That's why Groltz suggested you not to double post. Everyone will see it even if you post it only in a single section of our forums. Groltz isn't snobish at all FYI.alt said:

Hey! A real, honest to goodness spat! Great! I haven't seen one of those in ages. Now, let me see, which side shall I take?
(Tea pauses, scratches tummy in a ruminative way.)
Hmmm.. Line ball really.
(Hey! Tannin! Wake up! How's about I wade in with a dissertation on Alt's manners, parentage, and his terrible taste in clothing. Then you can hop in and defend him, meanwhile explaining what a scummy character Groltz is?)
(Huh? What time is it? Go back to sleep, Tea.)
Ahh. Bloody men. He's no fun anymore. How's a girl supposed to get some action around here anyway?

Everybody calm down or I'm checking *all* your IPs.

OK. Really. The motto here is to treat everyone with respect. Take up arms against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in private messages or email if you need to, or play freecell or a half-hour if you need to but at least insult everyone respectfully within the forums, 'kay?

Real simple,
Hopefully, your appearance here is not a one time event: If it is a one time event, then it won't make any difference except to your Karma. If you offend then next time when you need something the person that has the answer may be the one you offended this time. You also are judged by others, like me, on how you treat those around you and even though you didn't specificy name me, I'll remember because I am part of the group you have offended. An insult to them is an insult to me too. The likelyhood of getting a future useful answer has just decreased.
It is far easier to hurt people's feelings than to being netural or nice, so to fix an insult takes far more effort than not giving the insult in the first place. In the end, I fail to see the benefit for supplying vinegar at all.

It will obviously take a second ATA controller. If you plan on using ATAPI or other non-hard-drive devices, the 3Ware RAID card mentioned will not work.

Who in their right mind would need more than 4 ATAPI drives?

If you would take your biased blinders off, you would see who started the bad attitude, I have the right to finish what was put on me. But then again, if you did take the blinders off you would no longer be a click. Catch 22.

The really dirt cheep answer is to just buy a server board with ide raid. You can set it to run as a separate raid controller most of the time I think.
Of course if you ask storage enthusiasts for an answer on storage you'll get the high performance answer. My solutions probably pretty poor but if you don’t sit at your PC with a stop watch timing how long it takes to load you OS then you may never notice.
Not that there is anything wrong with that of course, its no worse than playing quake3 with the frame counter on all the time or any of the other things people do. But you need to ask if the difference is worth it to you.
Also I think you mean clique.
Click Somthing you do with a mouse.
Clique A small exclusive group of friends or associates.
From dictionary.com (well the second one anyway)

My apologies for taking this further off-topic.
It doesn't matter who started it, what matters is how you look in the
way you handle it. And FWIW Groltz's did not come across to me
as "bad attitude". The initial comments may have been short, but
they were far from rude, and rather close to the norm for this forum.
Your second comment however, seemed to have an implied insult
as to the scope of this forum.
True, and you have the right to live with the consequences of how
other see you finishing it. You do not have to drop down to the level
that you percieve others coming from to get positive results.
FWIW, its spelled "clique", and we don't have one of those around here*.
This site was originally formed by a group with shared interests in storage
technology and the community spirit that had been created at another site.
Many come here not because we agree (and in some cases because we
disagree); but because we have come to respect the opinions
of the other members, in spite of (and sometimes due to) the particular
quirks in their chosen posting style.
* The closest we seem to have to a clique is Tannin and Tea, and even
they seem to go out of the way to disagree with each other at times.
And what do you end up giving to those who try to help you by being critical?
