I had tried NT RAID before with poor results - would be curious to see your experience
if you try it. What adaptors are you useing for your drives? Mine are Iwill I2S,
and the controller is built-in on my Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard. Since I disabled
the ACPI shutdown, I have had no more corruption. Are you certain that your corruption
is not occuring at shutdown?
