In building a new PC I am considering the following: ASUS P4PE with RAID and SATA. My questions are:
1. Anybody have a good rec for a compatible, quality, quite case?
2. I'd like to place 2 HDD's on the RAID 1 for performance and get a 3rd HDD on the IDE for system backup. Is this a problem?
3. I can't find SATA HDD's yet. I know that the SATA concept holds a lot of promise but I've seen reviews that show little performance improvement over parallel ATA because of the PCI bus bottleneck. Does anyone have experience or recommend them or should I forego the SATA and stick to a parallel ATA RAID controller?
4. What is the HDD size limit for WinXP using NTFS?
