2 RAID cards on one motherboard + opinions on planned rig
I'm planning on building a new rig (aimed at being a fileserver). The specs were going to be (still changing) a dual xeon 2.8ghz, Tyan Thunder s7501 mobo , 4gb ecc ram, 2x adaptec ATA Raid cards , 8x 200mb Western Digital HDD's w/ 8mb cache in RAID 0, 1 SCSI u320 hdd to install operating system on
Do you think that there will be any problems with having that much HDD space (1.6tb - i know that I will loose a bit in formatting) and having two RAID cards on one motherboard? The rig will be in a 2U rackmount case (so expandability is limited). Any feedback or opinions at all would be great.
Cheers
