    right now i have a a64 3200+, 1gig ram, 2x 250gb wd ide hd's, 2x 300gb wd ide hd's. I want a reliable file server that i can stream video's off the hard drives, ftp into it, not sure what else yet. right now raid isnt a big deal. I like the os they made looks real nice and stable so thats why i was looking at something like it. I might get another asus a8n deluxe and use the onboard raid when i get some sata drives

    the onboard raid for that is awful, its software raid 5 and the manager is all done in Java. if you get that board, with bios revision 1013 of higher you can use a PCI Express raid card like i got. ( i cant be sure other manufacutures cards work in the PCI Express slot other than Areca )

    Highpoint has the 2320 x4 slot 8 sata card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16816115026

    4 port x8 slot Areca SataII card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16816131003

    8 port x8 slot Areca SataII card Areca ARC-1220 PCI-Express x8 SATA II Controller Card - Retail

    then the big kahuna like i, and chris have, the 12 port x8 slot Areca SataII card Areca http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16816131006


    chris has 4 300gig sataII drives on it and let me post a picture of his atto scores. its not even funny

    with Sata 1 drives, mine peask at about 200MB read and 150 write.

    then the nvidia raid on any of the nForce4 boards will probably do you just fine.

    i use XP SP2 and i dont have any problems what so ever.

    with linux just make sure it supports Samba shares.
