Thursday, November 24. 2005MegaRAID i4 Makes Me StabbyTrackbacks
Starting to build my new OpenFiler!
Finally! I have five 250GB IDE hard drives that I bought from Nate (thanks Nate!) a while ago. I also have some old gear that I picked up with a Xeon motherboard and CPU. But the motherboard is in a 1RU case. It's hard to shoe horn five hard drives

If you only buy 4 drives, and use one as a hot spare. once you rebuild it from a failure - you will have no hotspares available. wouldn't it be more economical to purchase multiple drives at this point?
because that hot spare will have been running for quite some time now in the bay, so eventually it'd fail from heat/use etc.
This is a fairly old post. Wondering if you still have the card/raid setup and how is it servicing you?
