Hi everyone,
I have two questions for you all, I am wanting to upgrade my storage space.
1# I have a 4 drive raid 10 array atm and want to expand that to 8 drive array using raid 100 (10+0),
I want to add the other new 4 drives to my mobo chipset ports because my current pcie raid card is only a 4 port, if I run 2 raid 10 arrays and use a software raid 0 is this possible, I have win 7 pro on the server atm.
2# next if I later want to expand this to another server for even more space is there a way of linking two different server arrays to show as 1 drive?
Also a bother sneak question what is a good network switch that has a backplane of 10gbps and 8+ gb ports, at the moment I just got a netgear gigabit router and when having 2-4 machines working at a time I'm starting to get a bottleneck from the server to the router, the server array w/r is over 150mb and if its possible to do what I asked in questions 1# I might get 250+ mbs..
Any help would be much welcomed
Thanks
Dave
