That's essentially a backup scheme, not significantly different
Never used a hotswap, but I'm assuming that they are idle empty drives which will automatically take over any other which fails.
No, they're cold standbys that can be "swapped in" with power on
Err.... so how does that differ from me having several spare drives sat on the shelf that I can put in when required? I thought the idea was these were put online AUTOMATICALLY. The option I saw to add a hotswap on one of my raid controllers seemed to imply that I'd set up one of the drives that was plugged in to be one.
That's a good idea. Although I wouldn't do it with a cheapo onboard controller. Those things fall over sometimes when drives "fail".
I have three machines on a network on all the time. So the main one is backed up to the other two automatically every night. Every so often I use a USB drive to dump one of the backup copies onto and hide it out of reach of the computers.
(Your word wrap is broken.)
No, "hot swap" has nothing to do with backup. If you have spare
Why would your spare need to be "hot"? I think we're talking past
Huh? "Cheapo" RAID controllers are nothing more than *ATA ports.
Don't do RAID-5. If you want speed do Raid 1/0. You're going to
We have two systems (our laptops) that get backed up to USB drives.
I haven't counted for a while, but I think I have about 50 customers

YOU wrap it. I don't kow the width of your monitor.
I assume it's a drive which the system can bring into play as needed, immediately one fails.
If they were nothing more than *ATA ports, you couldn't make a RAID array with them.
My point is I've (more than once) seen ONE drive fail, then the controller is incapable of using a degraded array and corrupts everything.
Do you mean RAID 1+0? As in a striped mirror? Why would this be faster than a RAID 5?
The network is automatic. It's no hassle at all once it's set up.
I use a Windoze program called "SpeedFan". (Click on the SMART tab):
Careful with the 2nd drive. If it's the slave off a different model

Nothing is "automatic". It requires management. Too much bother
Not a lot of people still have 80 column screens. Yours might be 120 for example. Your software should wrap my text at 120. If you make the window a bit smaller, it'll wrap to 100, etc. Even Notepad can wrap to window!!!
But it gives you added protection, because as soon as one drive fails, the hotswap drive is brought into use, not when you notice it and physically put one in.
If it was entirely OS software, booting the OS would be impossible.
They were RAID 5 arrays.
Perhaps. But consider my new system - I want 4 hard disks. If I use RAID 1+0, then when writing, I'm splitting the drive's work by a factor of 2. When reading I'm splitting it by a factor of 4. If I use RAID 5, when writing I'm splitting the drive's work by a factor of 3, when reading I'm splitting the work by a factor of 3. Depends whether reading is more important than writing.
It requires management ONCE when I set up the schedule. From then on it does it at 3am every night, without my intervention.
Don't be an asshole. It runs it right off the right edge. I'm not

There is a problem with people that insist that THEY have a special
dispensation to violate long established rules of the road, like the long
established usenet rule of the road that says 'thou shalt wrap thine text
at less than 76 before you rap on usenet, otherwise other usenet users will
consider you a kook and will soon cease to see anything you post because
you will earn a permanent place in their killfiles.'

Make sure your lines are no longer than 72 to 76 characters in length.
Once again, you can't assume that all e-mail and news clients behave like
yours, and while yours might wrap lines automatically when the text reaches
the right of the window containing it, not all do.
....try and imagine how people will feel about your messages if they are
nothing but a succession of ... lines which spread off the screen.
Enough said...
If your mailer/newsreader doesn't wrap outgoing messages then at least have
the courtesy to do so manually before sending your message off.

Being courteous costs little and adds to the happiness in the world.
Remember that NOTHING said on usenet is ever lost.
Every smart and dumb thing we ever post is out there somewhere.
Being rude might bring YOU a little pleasure but it brings unhappiness to
others. Trolls enjoy being rude and the reactions being rude bring.
Is that _really_ what you want to do? Is that how you want future
generations to remember you?

It runs off the right edge because your shoddy software isn't wrapping it. Open any word processor and start typing. Keep going till you come towards the edge. Tell me what happens next.
If Windows Notepad can wrap, so can any email client. It's not rocket Science. My ZX Spectrum used to do it for christ's sake."Peter Hucker" <none@spam.com> wrote in
