Personally we're using Mylex AcceleRAID 250 PCI cards, (though they are getting harder to come by now), as we were reccomended to by someone on this list. If you've got like 30drives or something though, that card won't handle it; you need to be a little more specific as to what you require. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
