Striped RAID 0 in System 7.1.1 Pro?
Posted by: olePigeon on 2012-12-13 16:01:41
Is it possible to do a striped RAID 0 in System 7.1.1 Pro? I'm working on a IIci mod that'll allow it to have 2 HDDs in the HDD slot. Created a custom SCSI cable just for it. Would like to stripe RAID two 250MB SCSI drives.

Shouldn't be a problem. My 1991 HDT 1.2.1 manual lists the minimum requirement as 6.0.2 and the box has the "Apple Macintosh System 7 Savvy" sticker on the cover. My assumption would be that this will work w/7.0.1* just fine because that's what I was using right up until I bought HDT 2.0 for IDE support to format the B!G@$$ IDE Drive I swapped right for the pathetic stock HDD.

The manual explains RAID, but I haven't looked closely enough at it yet. I'm working under the assumption that I'll have to find a matched copy of HDT RAID Toolkit to buy in order to get the StudioArray striping at RAID 0 off the JackHammer or another pair of drives with the FastSCSI2/RocketShip.

p.s. I just read up on the FWB SUITE Summer Deal! It seems to have included EVERYTHING except the RAID ToolKit.

-Hard Disk Toolkit

-CD-ROM Toolkit

-Turbo ToolkKit

-HSM ToolKit

HDT 2.0 doesn't support anything less than a 68020 Mac with 7.0.1 as the minimum OS requirement. Looks like I'll be reading this manual!

Anybody got a copy of FWB's RAID ToolKit for either version of HDT for sale? :?:

I'd be interested in it, too. My FWB Jackhammer card came with HDT 1.2, but no RAID.
