What is the obsession with web servers on the FreeBSD lists? :-) There is a whole (corporate) world outside of web related stuff. No this is not for home and it is not for a web server. This is for a "temporary storage" box at work. Basically people put trash on all our Netware/NT servers so I am going to create this 120GB box and tell people that this is the only place they can put junk. I may also use it for staging of some backups and to store a library of software. >Maxtor's cheap for what they offer, IMHO. Yes. I am getting two 40Gig to put on a raid 1 and 2 60GB for a raid 0. >If you are using Ultra/ATA66, you'll need different cables than regular IDE. Yes I am ordering them. I don't know if we have any at the office. 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-hardware" in the body of the message
