I would buy a Mylex SCSI2SCSI RAID the next time. The CMDs are (IMHO!) ok in environments with relatively low disk traffic (like in our 'small business' 8 to 10 people doing web-design etc.). But under really high load the Mylex units might perform much better. The bottleneck with the CMDs is, that they only support up to 32 tagged commands. -Andreas -- : TSE GmbH Neue Medien : Gsf: Arne Reuter : : : Hovestrasse 14 : Andreas Braukmann : We do it with : : D-48351 Everswinkel : HRB: 1430, AG WAF : FreeBSD/SMP : :--------------------------------------------------------------------: : Anti-Spam Petition: http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/ : : PGP-Key: http://www.tse-online.de/~ab/public-key : : Key fingerprint: 12 13 EF BC 22 DD F4 B6 3C 25 C9 06 DC D3 45 9B : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
