nVidia Chipset history and the new 5xx series.

6/06/2006

Just when I think I am needing more space, I read about the new AM2 chipset
by nVidia
from Anandtech
. A very interesting feature, massive RAID 5 and with multiple
RAID! Just great for my 2nd file server! I was intending to have important files
residing on 2 x 250Gb RAID 1 on my MSI Neo4 that comes with 8 x SATA ports then
change 2 x 250Gb to RAID 1 also then purchase 4 x 300Gb to do RAID 5 on that 1st
file server. I found out sometime ago that the PSU does not have enough juice,
it’s a good excuse to build another rig! haha Getting a board with the new AM2
with nVidia’s 5xx chipset will be great with the massive RAID 5 function! Speed
wise is not much of a concern for me, data integrity is and RAIDing 1 now kinda
really waste a lot of space, changing everything to RAID 5 might just be the
answer! hmm..the 750Gb harddisks sure looks nicer and nicer now but 3 x 750Gb
will cost like around 2.4K! but will end me up with over 2 terabyte! woohooo
gotta think now…
