Exactly! In my case the data will be mostly temporary. I just need a large amount of space that would be too expensive with SCSI. I am doing a system next week and the whole thing will be 140Gig (2 40GB in RAID 1 and 2 60GB on RAID0). Total cost using an existing computer... under $1300. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
