Man, this RAID thing is just rife with confusing, sometimes conflicting, information, isn't it?!?
So it sounds like Grim Ninja was incorrect about being able to boot from a software striped array (RAID 0), as people are doing it now, and the new Mac Pros are capable of doing it as well.
JJ, can you chime back in with your take on my original questions? The early replies seemed to agree that there wouldn't be a huge advantage to doing what I described, and that there would be some big drawbacks as well. Do you agree? Could you give us some specifics on what your setup is and what the benefits are?
Thanks,
