   I had a similar problem a bit over a year ago and decided to go with a   
   RAID system myself.  After researching what hardware was available for   
   OS/2, which is mostly older and out of production, I decided to purchase   
   an outboard RAID unit.  I purchased an Areca Technology Corporation   
   ARC-5020 unit and installed four WD 320GB SATA drives to build two RAID-5   
   volumes.  This unit attaches to my system via an eSATA connection and   
   appears as two SATA drives to the system.   
      
   I have been happy with this hardware and would recommend others give it   
   consideration if they have need of RAID reliability for storage.
