Re: Raid 0 (Mirroring) - Help?

ok... raid 1 it is :-) that is why i wrote (Mirroring) old age is getting
to me.

I am using the same controller just the two different channels. (Primary and
Secondary) Should I setup the mirror as a slave drive and put it on the same
cable as the drive that I want mirrored? Won't that slow it down even more?
