Sonnet Tempo Controller with Burly Box Raid

hey all!
I have been reading everyone's admonishments in the Raid Maintenance thread about not runniing Raid0, and I'm starting to listen. I currently have a 1.6TB raid made in the burly box and controlled by a Sonnet Tempo card. I made the RAID with disk utility, which only allows for Raid 0 and 1. does anyone know if there is a way to use this Raid setup but create a Raid 5 setup?
thanks all!

Raid 5 is something that needs to be built into the box...the Raid case. It is a hardware RAID solution. That setup isn't capable of Raid 5.

Shane, thanks for the response!

I sell a 4 disk SATA RAID solution that can be firmware set to RAID's 0-1-5-10 or 50.

You can buy RAID controller cards to go in your PCIe or PCIx slots depending on the kind of Mac you have that do RAID 5. They are in the $200 to $300 range. Here is one reviewed on the AMUG site.

sweet! that looks perfect....i'll poke around and see what peoples' experiences are..."web based raid management software" sounds kinda weird, but maybe not...have you used this thing?
thanks!!!!
