It is also about as old as the hills, and has no Ultra2 support. Ultra2 also gives you longer cable lengths (LVD), which are very important for external RAID setups, without the pain of sourcing differentional drives. Basically every SCSI disk made these days is Ultra2. A CRD or Infortend controller will probably be better. The new Infortrend Sentinel series with 64bit PowerPC processors look very interesting. > -- > Steve Kaczkowski Time Warner Telecom IDD > steve@inc.net (414)908-9012 > http://www.inc.net (603)737-9209 Fax Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
