I have a iMac 3.4 GHZ with 16 GB of memory, SSD boot drive and 2TB internal. I want to attach a RAID to it (OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2, eSATA, FireWire 800+USB).
Is it possible to install Mac OS X on a RAID and use it as a boot drive? If so, what Mac OS X version would work best (Snow Leopard? Lion?) and what RAID level would be appropriate (I am debating between level 5 or 10).
I figure if my iMac went down I can plug and play and boot up with the RAID on another computer.
