Could someone suggest a good source of material on the various RAID configurations and their setup/use, etc.

Thanks
Phil

Thank you Mr. Frodo. I was originally thinking in terms of a book, but it looks as though these links will supply the info I need. I guess I'm very old school and still not used to looking for this sort of thing on the net. Thanks again.

Phil

My pleasure, Dr. Phil.

You might yet need a book-- a dictionary-- to parse through some of the terminology!!

How's your MTTDL-to-UBE ratio doing these days?

Here's an episode of Mac Break Tech (a geeked out podcast I tend to dig) that goes into RAID: http://macbreaktech.com/4/zulu-foxtrot-sierra-zfs/

It will be a little $$ to go (the right way) hardware route...
Software RAID's aren't too stable. If you want speed then SSD drives are the way to go but it will cost ya!
