Hi Riccardo,
Thanks for the reply.
It is unlikely that you'll be able to destripe the array onto itself, for
the same reason that any data recovery procedure is carried out by
definitely writing on another disk.
The system I'm looking at getting would come with a single HD, with RAID
*not* enabled. I'm wanting to add a second HD and through software
duplicate the primary HD, with automatic nightly updates.
I wonder why manufacturers do not install on a single disk leaving the
choice to the user of building their striped disk (very trivial, just add
the second drive basically).
Why don't you inquire Dell for shipping a system like that (I know that
Dell customizes their systems somewhat)?
I have pursued this at length with the guy at Dell, but the customization
doesn't extend this far.
Basically, given the system as it comes, and with more reading about some of
the pitfalls of RAID, I'm inclined to not use RAID at all.
So, I want to have two regular, non-RAID internal HD's, and use a software
solution to have the 2nd drive effectively mirror the first, through a
nightly update. I'd like this to include all partitions, the full OS, etc.
Do you (or anybody else) know if this can be done, and if so, using what
software?
