Couple of RAID cards and the limit is the power supply anyway. You could do an internal USB - plenty of headers on most mobos and the board to do the conversion is tiny but well, it's a bit like putting a 50cc scooter exhaust on a Ducati 999S.

To Have to? what's making you? Last I checked it was barely faster than IDE.

Thanks for the input. Methinks it's time to get off my butt.

RAID is basically linking together a bunch of hard drives to act as one in a few different ways. You can do RAID over SCSI but I don't know too much about it, I'm only really familiar with IDE/SATA and software RAID over firewire.
You can have each store half the data so it's much faster to read and write. You can have both store the data so it's twice as reliable. After that there's a variety of combinations of the above depending on what the emphasis is on.

SCSI is the Small Computer Systems Interface. RAID is a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. Ironic then that both of these became the definitive storage tech for large, enterprise-class servers.
RAID started on SCSI, and much later moved to IDE and SATA. SCSI supports 7 drives on one cable, so it was only natural someone would try this. RAID stitches multiple drives together to look like one drive. Done one way, you get more speed and space. Done another way, you get more reliability. Lots more at Wikipedia. |
