I currently am at 2.1 TB on my main device. Several years ago i ran win2k raid for both a 0 array and a 5 array i did have some issues with it i dont rember the exact problem this was back when 60/80GB drives were big. I ended up migrating to a promise sx6000 with 6x120ide100 via R5 and had no issues with this setup until i out grew it. It was hot swapable and has onboard memory i found it a great choice. However about 3 weeks ago i found my self down to 90 gig free. So i orderd 4x400 sata 150's and am useing the asus onboard silicon raid device on my mother board in a r0 config as i have only had this setup in production for a couple weeks i can not make a long term judgment but for right now its fast. I can not coment on stabilty as it has only been a few weeks. On a side not you said you have IDE now and raid cards arnt cheap i have the promise sx6000 on my desk maybe we can work something out. I wouldnt be looking to make a huge profit or any thing just to help you out get you started in the storage.

o ya you add 4x400 and get 1.6TB the other 500 is 2x250
