The subject is Raid Drive implementation. If your drive is a single unit, I
don't think extra software is necessary. If you think that sharing a channel
is slow ... does this really have meaning?

I think it curses us to raise aware bazaar questions. ... except there are
answers even in stupid instances. Give it a shot.

SCSI RAID was on old technology.

Isn't RAID a self contained technology, which needs compatible hardware,
like the newer IDE on motherboard technology? [defer from topic] Is Serial
HD drive technology going to become successful? I see new video quality
drives are on the way.
