I don't think Dynamic Disk is worse then the so-called "hardware" RAIDs, who are usually implemented in driver software anyway :) Microsoft and Veritas are more trustworthy companies for me then the Chinese RAID chip vendor. At least for El Cheapo hardware Dynamic Disk is probably better. Another advantage of Dynamic Disk is easier recovery - the array will assemble itself on any other controller flavor, the disks can be plugged in to the controllers in any order. And yes - RAID is not for backup, it is for redundancy. For instance, RAID will not allow you to recover the accidentally deleted file. -- Maxim Shatskih, Windows DDK MVP StorageCraft Corporation maxim@storagecraft.com http://www.storagecraft.com
