How does WHS handle software RAID? I'm currently running an OpenFiler using a combination of iSCSI and CIFS/SMB sharing from a RAID 5 array of drives

plus a few standalone. Is it flexible or does it just eat all the drives and do what it wants?

What Truman said. WHS invents its own pseudo-RAID. -- nm - Earl the Teamster Oct 23, 12:39 3
- (Hi Earl) Thanks. That's a bummer. I could still probably work something because OpenFiler runs in a VM. Could just build RAID 5 at the host level - kilboooo! Oct 23, 12:40 1
