[ale] RAID "inexpensive" disks?

[Stephen Turner]

uh, just an observation but :-p raid is typically used with scsi disks,
which arent inexpensive, on the contrary, they seem to be storing less
than ide and more expensive.... oh well on to my question, since ide is
inexpensive, and reaching nice speeds would it be appropriet to use ide in
a raid formation? would it be near performance of normal raid with scsi? i
was interested in opinions from experienced guys and i dont know any
myself except this mailing list so :), also whats your opinions on best
performance/redundant configurations? i noticed raid 0,1 configuration
seemed to be nice, striping and mirroring together (which is possible
right?) running 2 raid arrays, each with 3 or so disks stripped and the
first and second array mirrord, .... 6 disks total, one fast and redundant
array right? im sorry for the possible ignorance in this letter, i have no
experience with raid and im just trying to get berrings and such :) also
just wanted to start a convo too so :) thanks for your time
