Question about ultrastar

[scooterscott]

I currently have a dual pentium scsi machine with 1 IBM ultrastar 18es (dnes-318350w) and I would like to add another hard drive with a raid controller card to be able to stripe my hd's. What would be a good choice?

Thanks in advance
Scott

Scooterscott, Take a look at some of the online auction sites like ebay. Look for an IBM ServeRAID adapter, I have seen them for less than $50. It will do what you need PLUS. With the latest microcode you will even be able to add a drive after your array has been created and in use. The current flash code for the adapter is 4.84 and available from the IBM site.

Good luck and have fun with it. I use one at home as well as the office.
