I know that with certain ATA raid cards... I can create an 0/1 array even if the card does not automatically support such an array. I am interested in the Adaptec SCSI 39320-R, the card is not classified as a RAID card mind you... yet it supports both 0 and 1... but not 0/1. I am wondering if the same workaround can be applied here. You assign two drives to two separate 1 arrays, and before you build the array, you assign the two 1's arrays to a 0 array... build it and VIOLA!!!!! A 0/1 array. I've done it with ATA cards.. and Adaptec's site even mentions this technique... but didn't include any of their SCSI cards (or I overlooked the 39320 being mentioned) on the list.

think this will work?
