Appreciate the reply. Very nice setups!
To clarify, can my ATTO ExpressPCI PSC pictured do a RAID setup?
And if it does happen to be YES it can do RAID, would it be bootable from that card into both OS 9 and OS X 10.4 Tiger?
I am unsure how SCSI implements its RAID configurations. Looking over your setups, the 4x RAID looks like it just runs on a single SCSI cable. But the 2x RAID, I see two separate cables. It is my understanding that while SCSI RAID can run multiple drives off a single cable (single-channel), only one drive can talk at a time. With a two separate cables on a dual-channel, assuming a 2x drive RAID setup, then each of the drives potentially has full saturation available from the controller (discounting other limitations such as bus speed, etc.). Correct?
Does my G4 Gigabit, with it 33mhz PCI bus, even have a chance of needing a dual-channel setup considering that low bus speed?
Considering that, would it benefit from the UL3D card (let alone a ULD4)?
And looking over eBay, UL3D cards look to be PCI-X. Can PCI-X cards be used in my G4 Gigabit with basic, boring PCI slots?
