Building a server to send off to the planet to co-lo with them. The board will only have a 32/32 slots and its not a file server.
Im looking for speed and redundancy (and cost). Im thinking maybe 2 18gb scsi's in raid 1.
Since Im out of the scsi loop could some of you folks give me some recommendations on a fast yet well priced drive? And maybe a well priced raid controller?
I don't need alot of storage but the raid 1 is a must.
Also can you have a spare in Raid1 like Raid5? If One drive fails it will automaitcally kick over to the second? Then if that fails use the spare?
Trying to make it as full proof as possible because physical access isnt going to be possible.
Cheers
