If you're doing disk intensive stuff, you will. The risk is that if one drive fails, you lose the contents of both. Raid-0 in hardware will almost certainly be faster, software, maybe to probably.

I've soooooooo much to learn!

I have a few more around the house but that's my desktop work area

I hate you and love you at the same time. Thats a nice homebuilt server rack too....what all do you have packed in there???

Consultant working from home?

Well that server rack makes mine look dismal and even more messy! :laugh3:

I still have to move the punch panel from the old wall mounted rack to the front rack. The servers do slide in and out though.

Here is a shot from just behind my equally messy desk.

<grin> Here's something from my day job.....

Disaster recovery exercise last week, in Atlanta, at a cold site. 2 of us reloaded 30 HP-UX servers, along with several terabytes of data in around 45 hours. I think we can realistically cut 10 to 12 hours off that.

Here's the real nifty part: Once we reload our Ignite/UX server, we can reload servers in around an hour, from start to finish over the network.
