Most machines have at least two ide ports. Just spread every raid1 over
different controllers. If you loose a disk, you may loose a disk from
two different raid1's but at least the system doesn't die. I can't
think of any raid1 setup where you would have to put both disks on one
controller unless it is your only controller.
