Re: Software RAID 1



Most of us would advise avoiding software RAID and instead look at a good
quality hardware RAID card.

Hello. I have a Dell server with 2 SATA hard drives and would like to
enable software RAID 1 within SBS2003. Currently on drive 1, partition
C: (about 15GB) is the system and E: (about 65GB) is the data. On
drive 2 partition D: is 80GB (with nothing on it). What I would like
to achieve is a RAID 1 mirror with partition C: remaining at 15GB with
the system and D: being the existing E:Could anyone advise? Thanks in
advance.
