I would like to set up a server using 4 large IDE drives and software RAID.
Can 3.2V5.0.2 handle the new 3.5 Gb and larger IDES?
Western Digital has a 4Gb for $389.00

Ah, that ought to really fly at a snail's pace.Quote:Paul Goor writes:

1. IDE RAID - FastTrak/66 (ATA/IDE - PCI RAID CONTROLLER)
It is at the moment, but Promise is suppose to be developing a driver.
Last time I checked, they said they had an alpha driver, but they didn't
have it posted yet. Check out the Promise support/download drivers
section. And yes, the FastTrack and the ATA66 are the same card (unless
they recently changed it) with different flash BIOSes and an "identity"
resistor.
