I'm going to be upgrading an existing mail server and I have a certain amount of things on-hand. I essentially have two options as far as storage goes: -3Ware 9500SX 12 port RAID card -9 ~250MB SATA-II drives (to start - 1 as hot spare) -new 3U case w/12 hot-swap bays Total cost there is about $2200. The performance of the 3Ware/SATA solution is more than adequate for our needs... There are some reliability issues with SATA vs. SCSI/FC, but the drives are cheap enough that hot spares are an option to mitigate that. I've also been very happy with the reliability of the 3Ware management apps - no problems replacing drives without a reboot. I can't say the same for the Adaptec stuff so far. -FC RAID card -OR FC HBA, no RAID + gvinum -2 old NetApp FC shelves totalling ~0.5TB (have on-hand) -new 2U case Total cost there is about $700-$??? While I would like to use the freebie NetApp shelves, who knows how much life is left in them. I also am not too sure on what (if any) currently shipping FC RAID HBAs are supported well under FreeBSD 6.1. I do have a handful of the 9500SX cards which are outperforming most of my Adaptec SCSI RAID HBAs... I'm guessing a new FC RAID HBA is going to be upwards of $1K. Some interesting used Mylex product is available for a few hudred bucks, and I'd not be comfortable not having a spare laying around. Some have mentioned gvinum, but I'm wondering how rough it would be too set that up with 14 drives in a RAID 1+0 config. Anyone here doing that? Any opinions on these options?

Regards, Garden L (from Promise Technology) Hi Promise (USA) sent me one of those some time ago, but the documentation for writing the driver newer showed up after multiple requests. Just FYI I've worked with Promise for several years on writing and maintaining support for all Promise ATA/SATA controllers in FreeBSD's ATA driver which is my baby. Get in touch with me and I'm sure we can find a way to get this sorted out, at least I do have the HW to work with you on this. -Søren
