Hi Darksied9, SysExpert<br />
<br />
The server is a V4, and 3 years old, so not quite ready for the trash yet (one would hope). <br />
<br />
I followed the advice to check with HP, and lo and behold, there is a built-in SATA Raid controller that allows the two SATA ports to be used as either independent (its current and default configuration), or as Raid 0 or 1, if I set the Bios to use them as such. &nbsp; Thanks for your attention to my question.<br />
<br />
Regards to both.<br />

Hi All, &nbsp;and thanks in advance.<br />
<br />
A client has a HP Proliant DL 320 serving their large home network. &nbsp;When I checked the server, I found that it had two drives, but only one was in use. &nbsp;I set up drive two as a backup drive, but would much rather set it up as &nbsp;a Raid 0+1 (mirrored, and set up a USB drive as a backup. &nbsp;I'm not sure as to whether this pizza box will handle a raid controller. &nbsp;Can anyone tell me whether this server can be set up as such, and any advice as to specific recommendations as to go about it?<br />

Thanks lot.<br />

Help setting up HP Proliant DL 320 with raid 0+1 (mirrored).

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
