[TriLUG] theoretical RAID question

[Shawn William Taylor]

You should be able to mirror the two disks. Don't mirror the two halves of 
the same disk, your performance will be poor.

[TriLUG] theoretical RAID question






Howdy

I've just bought a 500GB SATA drive for my desktop. And, yes, I'm probably
on crack for coming up with this, but I'm curious:

1) I'm probably going to buy a second in a few days, but I'm wondering if
you could partition the drive down to, say, 250G, and then RAID the halves
of it?

2) Or, to partition it in an identical fashion to the next one, then RAID
those together?
