Hi all,
I have two physical drives, and I'm contemplating setting up a raid array (curiosity more than anything).
What I wonder, is this:
If I partition each physical drive into two equal size logical chunks, say 100GB for OS and 300GB for Storage; can I setup two raid arrays (RAID 0 for the OS, which I would be prepared to lose in event of a hard disk failure) and RAID 1 for the storage, so that would be mirrored in the event of failure.
A) Is this possible?
B) If yes, would i need to use hardware (on the P5B) or some software method?
C) Is it a stupid idea! would i do better just getting a third drive and using RAID 5 to offer what I'm trying to achieve.
Cheers,
