I have a RAID working nicely on my ancient PPC 604 @ 180MHz, but I am using
Linux's software RAID, an Adaptec SCSI card, and an external RAID rack. I
am also not booting from the RAID. This may sound like an inefficient
setup, but even with an encryption loop on top of the RAID I can serve a
filesystem on the RAID over NFS and be able to play MPEGs from it on my
other computers without any skipping or stalling.
I've never much cared for the idea of root on RAID anyway, nor RAID on
internal disks, so this system is ideal for me. YMMV.
