Hi Mike, Are you saying IYHO that that the PERC 3's perform better than the 3200S Adaptecs? If that is the case I must look more closely I only tried the PERC 2's with windows NT and was not impressed. I think many admins here have only seen people writing in with problems (myself included). I am always interested in making our freebsd-stable systems faster and more reliable, and if I can get them installed at the factory all that much better. This is the first time I've heard some one say really good things "noticably better" than the 3200's! Thats a big plus! I apoligize for my negativeness which was I'm sure was out dated. Maybe someone has some benchmarks that show the differences? I am looking forward to running my own. I agree everyone has thier favorites, would be good to see some benchmarks from specific models and manufacturers with FreeBSD espcially with comments about managment utilities (IE does it run on FreeBSD, under emulation or native etc). Although no one I know has the time for this :( Have a great day Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
