HP DL380 with "HP SmartArray", aka ciss. This server is very solid and is fully supported by FreeBSD 6.2 and 7.0. We have one with 4 146 GB sas-disks in raid 1+0. Just make sure you get at least 256 MB cache. The raid-management tool is very easy to use. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.
