I give in I'm going SCSI (small cheer from the cheap seats!).= Here is what I'm going to use: > 1. Lets assume for now that I will use a standard 2 channel SCSI contr= oller (non-RAID) and will use software RAID-1 with one 36GB drive on each= channel. Any controller recommendations? I'm going to bow out here with one last comment; you're buying "high end"= philosophy for a "low end" application, and mixing and matching drastically inappropriate technologies. (If you want my advice; get a 3ware 6200 and a pair of Maxtor 80GB drives= = in hotswap bays, and spend some time worrying about something else.) -- = =2E.. every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
