Not really; the final solution will be running striping and mirroring and I'm quite impressed by the result. If you want to try too: MSI dual P3 mainboard with two P3/1GHz 2 GB RAM 9 Maxtor 80 GB (8 on the Escalade 6800, one for FreeBSD) It definitely is a nice machine and will be doing its job quite well. The SCSI test system will probably used for software development and the final application will be runnig on ten systems with IDE RAIDs. Or do you know an affordable (non-XEON) dual mainboard with 64bit PCI slots which would give an advantage with the Escalade 7000 series? Noses.
