I plan on implementing a RAID1 setup with a 2-drive external enclosure with eSATA ports and will use a dual eSATA adapter in the 34mm ExpressCard slot in my uMBP. My question is this: would such a configuration be considered hardware or software RAID? I'm just a bit confused on the whole thing....
I ask bc I may need to access data from within Windows and from what I understand, utilities such as MacDrive can handle hardware RAID, but not software RAID. BTW, if anyone knows if this is true or not, that would be greatly appreciated!
I couldn't quite decide if this should go in this section, so if there is a more appropriate one, feel free to move it.
