Unless it is a very expensive card (e.g., US$1000+), it is probably not worth it since if the board fails, you may have difficulty accessing your data later. For example, with the RAID in the kernel, you can always just pop the disk into another machine and access it there. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
