Hello,

I'm looking for a motherboard which I won't have any problem to install FC4 on it and use the hardware raid 1 on it. I just google for hours, and didn't find anything. Does anybody as a combo working with this kind of requirements?

FC4
raid 1
AMD athlon 64 s939

Thanks for any hints or links

should be all that are needed in addition to what you have mentioned to implement RAID1. Are the drives that you want to use IDE or SCSI? I would think that that would be more of a determining factor in your choice of motherboards than anything else. As long as your motherboard has connections for the specific types of drives you are using, I think that you can make your own choice here based on price/speed/availability/etc. I would not expect to find any search results about this that specifically mention the other hardware that you have as this is not a very common way of handling this from what I understand.

What are you doing specifically with this that you are wanting to implement RAID redundancy? For all but the highest intensity applications, I would expect that regular backups on some other medium would be sufficient. While it is possible to implement this (given that you have 2 identical hard drives) I would expect it to be more than a little bit of a hassle unless you already really know what you are doing, so make SURE that you really NEED this level of redundancy before you dive into this.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer Ike.

Yes, I really need to have raid 1 (mirroring), because it will be my server. I already have one old server which runnning FC2 but with a pci card to do the raid 1. I would like to get rid of of this 400MHZ server because it is kind of slow with all the services running on it (internet router for my home network, firewall (iptables), dns, sendmail with my on domain, smb, apache tomcat with subversion server...). So before bying a motherboard, I would like to know which one is working well with FC4.

UDMA133 raid 1 require.

Thank you

Franck
