New There's one way to settle that...

Anyone got a USB hub and five floppy drives ;-)

\r\n\r\n

My experience with RAID is that the disks themselves are marked in a way that the particular port they're connecting to is irrelevant. Whether this holds true in OS X SW RAID, I'm not sure.

\r\n\r\n

I'm as impressed as Peter by how easy OS X makes this.

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?\r\n

New Indeed.
But that would not be me. Last time I looked, those drives were AU$120 each. I happened to have gotten one with my laptop, but that was expected. I also don't have a Mac... :-)

And one reason I thought of the question was because I've seen an IDE RAID card not see an array because the drives were connected in the wrong order. Daft, I know, but still...

Somebody save my life
