[ale] IDE Raid / Hotswap

[Mike Lockhart]

I need to setup a hotswap raid array for backups at work, and I'm
thinking of using IDE Raid instead of SCSI due to cost issues.  Does
anyone know of a good controller card that supports IDE and hotswaping? 
Additionally, what are some good applications to use for backups?
(*linux of course*)

My initial thoughts are somthing like using three 8drive IDE raid cards,
a dual proc box, and 2 gigs of ram.  I think if I use a board that has 3
66MHz pci slots that it should do ok. (Based of google research and this
link:http://www.tomshardware.com/newsletter/vol3/16/70tb.html).

Input requested :)
