RAID Harddrives

Pretty much all HD's work well in raid, but there are 2 rules:

1)better be cheap and fast (IBM..cough...cough)

2)better not be a Maxtor

So0ya they'll work fine. I heard those drives are fairly loud though, so you better be able to tolerate sound. IDE RAID 0 is awesome and CHEAP!!

Maxtor 27.2 gig 7,200 rpm

Thanks! If anyone is interested the hard drives im talking about are 30GB 7200RPM ATA66 Quantum Fireball LM with 2MB Cache. They are $108 after rebate at Egghead.com.
 
so what is wrong with maxtor drives. they aer fast, cheap and silent. they can be even more silent if you use the patch found at maxtor.com to set ata-commands to very silent or very fast if you want to...

Do I smell cupcakes...
 
Yes, I do agree that he current batch of Maxtor drives are pretty good and not because they're made here. ;)

Well, Maxtors are fine single drives(i have one right now) for some reason do poorly in Raid configuration.
