Answer» Difference between HARDWARE and software RAID..How it is configured? tools or software used?RAID takes both additional hardware and the software to RUN it. Can you rephrase your question so we know what you are trying to ask. Quote from: rthompson80819 on December 13, 2011, 11:18:37 PM RAID takes both additional hardware and the software to run it. Sorry - not so. Software RAID can run with no particular additional hardware, just the correct number of DISKS. This is a MASSIVE topic though - there are as many different implementations of RAID in hardware as there are major software vendors. Rather than reinvent the wheel, try this: hardware vs. software RAID.How to configure hardware and software RAID ? Quote from: Rob Pomeroy on December 14, 2011, 06:55:59 AM Sorry - not so.

Not an awful lot of reason to do that though. I understand that, but that kind of DEFEATS the purpose of having a RAID system. That might be OK for a learning EXPERIENCE, but not for a real back up system. That's definitely having all of your eggs in one basket.
