There doesn't seem to be a storage group for XP, so hopefully someone here
will have an answer.

I currently have a standard mid-tower PC. I would like to get an external
HD case that can hold 4-5 IDE drives and connect to the PC via FireWire. I
would like to setup windows mirroring or RAID-5 with these drives.

Does anyone know if this is possible and if this hardware configuration
exists? I haven't had much luck in finding an empty cases with the IDE-1394
bridge adapter built in, and I don't know how many drives can be on 1
FireWire cable or bridge adapter.

I would like to eventually put 4 WD 250 GB drives together to store audio
and video files.

Thanks,

Dan
 
Look for SAN (storage area network) on Google
