Hi all,

 I have a new computer installed and I want to setup 2 drives with RAID 1. Both drives are the same & are not yet formatted. I have not yet purchased a RAID card. I'm still reading up on exactly what to buy.

Thanks.

Hi Arnold,

Setting RAID 1 is pretty easy. RAID 1 setup can be done either via software or hardware. Some operating systems allow you to setup RAID in the software itself. But the best option is to have a hardware controlling the RAID functions i.e. a RAID card. RAID controller chips are often imbedded in the motherboard. They also come in the form of a PCI expansion cards. The big names in the RAID controller business are Adaptec, Highpoint, Intel and promise.
