I've seen a number of problems resulting from poor internal SCSI cabling. Integrate your own if you're considering Artecon. Others have suggested CMD which I've heard fair things about. Clayton O'Neill @ Erol's Internet has done a bit of testing on some of the higher end hardware products. His results are at http://hmmm.colo.erols.net/~coneill/iogen.html I've got issues with all of the products he reviewed and a number of the ones he didn't; no RAID product is perfect. :/ Choose wisely. /* Matthew N.
