    Hi all,

    For those who have lots of experience with this:

    I need more hard drive space and a faster disc too. Assuming software
    based raid is reliable enough for a home user, and money is very tight,
    I have two options:

    1. Buy a new fast disc

    2. Use kernel software raid to mirror the current Western Digital
    Caviar 5400rpm 2mb cache 10gb drive with a 10gb partition on a new (but
    now very cheap) 5400rpm 40gb drive. The remaining 30gb on the new disc
    would be /home

    Which setup would be faster?

    Thanks
    Hans
