RAID 5

[Malice]

Are there any IDE motherboards that perform RAID 5?

no Mobo

and if you want RAID 5
http://www.acnc.com/04_01_05.html

you'll need a pretty expensive SCSI RAID controller to do the trick

cuz you need 5 HDD at the least , and no EIDE mobo or add on card, can handle this.

well it's 3, but you want the other 2 to swap and be there in case

I know all about RAID 5 just didnt know if there was a RAID 5 motherboard for IDE system yet...

i doubt there will ever be one until the EIDE can go over 4 devices in 1 controller

"Escalade™ 7500 Series
Ultra ATA/133 interface
64-bit PCI technology
Support up to 12-drives through independent non-blocking switch ports
RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 and JBOD
64-bit ASIC design with fast on-board microprocessor
Hot swap and hot spare capability
Greater than 180MB/sec on reads
Greater than 127MB/sec on writes
Delivers ultimate RAID 5 performance ( * not available on 7000-2 )"

3Ware has an excellent reputation among IDE RAID devices.

Ahh i c

it's very new, thanks for the link

good ATA-133

yeah just my last review of EIDE RAID cards did not show this baby up, nice

but i bet it cost quite a bit

if i'm not mistaken

the 12 drives support one will go for around $1000

yup close after some search in google

all review are dated around July and Aug of this year

**** hot right off the oven man

and the price i was close $700 on the street

Awesome

a nice kick *** againts SCSI systems

now this is Economical and Reliable
perfect for those Removable 5.25 bays for HDDs :D

A.G...
The next system I build (for me ;) ) will definitely use an Escalade, but probably the min controller that will permit either RAID 0+1, or RAID 5... but that's a ways off... I just redid my pc and my daughter's pc a couple months ago, and wifey will brain me if I spend any more $$$ on this stuff now.

I'm just patiently waiting, watching the IDE HD prices, the 3Ware prices, the KT400 chipset mobos (can't wait to see what EPoX delivers... gotta be a real OCing screamer), the XP2800+ release/price, etc., etc.
