Software raids (Score 1)

I have four IDE drives on 2 interfaces and they're 17.4gig Maxtors and they seem to work just fine.I think that you do not need to have a separate channel for each drive. As a matter of fact...this is the 3rd machine I have built this way and they all built the same way....working.
So my advice is....if you want to use 3 drives..go ahead. ;-)
