It's going to take a lot more good points to convince me to use a RAID card over software than the DLT/DAT thing the other day.

Um, think about it Rob. This is a MICROSOFT implementation of software RAID we're talking about.

Actually, no it's not. The Help-About window in Disk Manager states "Dynamic disk and volume management provided to Microsoft by VERITAS Software Corporation.". And last I knew, MS and Veriats wern't getting along well, so if there was a problem, I don't see it being fixed any time soon. Took MS 3 service packs to fix an issue where a hardware RAID expansion would blow up dynamic disk layouts due to the drive info being held at the end of the hard drives.

Software (or cheep RAID controllers that simply are IDE controllers and software RAID drivers) = bad.
