Solve : Raid Controller?

1.	Solve : Raid Controller?
Answer» I am putting together a pc in my home to act as a desktop and server. three other pc's in the home will be networked and with important files stored on the network DRIVES. I run an accounting business which files are extremely sensitive and SEVERAL photoshop and video files. The case is an ATX form factor, I have had thoughts of getting a raid controller because of the benefits of mirroring and INCREASING speed. I have not purchased the motherboard and processor - Will the p4 motherboard support anything higher than raid 1 or do I have to a server set up? What would you do?I recommend Promise raid controllers. Depending on the degree of speed and data protection REQUIRED, select a model that gives you exactly what you want. STRIPPED arrays provide the best speed, mirrored arrays the best data protection. With some controllers you can use both. I personally use the mirrored raid, since for me speed is not tantamount.
