[QUOTE="Jasper Smith, post: 391738, member: 31077"] Sounds like you don't need fault talerance and you want a spanned volume: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanned_volume[/url] I am not sure all RAID implementations require Concatenation JDOB or SPAN capabilities to economically have all drives be the same size (due to not being able to use the excess space) -- seems like a bad hardware implementation if you lose it for a concatenation function. However, I am interested to know if anyone has found a software spanning volume utility for Mac? Microsoft has had this feature built-in to Windows XP (and possibly previous versions). [/QUOTE]
