Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We are looking to put a RAID array onto a server, and were wondering which solution would be the best/most cost effective. We have daily incremental backups, so I doubt the powers that be would be willing to go for a full blown RAID system--so at this time we are likely looking at a card which will do a RAID array through the hardware (preferably Level 5). Has anybody had any experience with this? Any suggestions on which card (and drives) to get? I'm not exploring the hardware (just fishing for helpful hints :), but the guy who is mentioned something about an adaptec RAID card--comments on it? Enjoy; -Brandon Gillespie
