I remember reading an article back in Amiga format days that there was a RAID5 or Mirroring program which would work on an allocated partition.

Does anyone remember what this product was called?

Thought I have seen a hardware Raid controller that was also used on an Amiga4000 in tower a while ago ...

Those Promise Technology IDE RAID controllers would be nice to have on a PCI expaned Amiga... Dunno if it would work tho, given everything happens from it's own firmware.

I used an external SCSI RAID controller for a short time with my A3000. You should be able to find them on eBay for pretty cheap these days.
