All SCSI:SCSI RAID controllers are supported.

Go for a SCSI:SCSI RAID solution; they have all the advantages. 70GB is a bit small, but try talking to eg. Metastor (LSI Logic) about their S-class server-attached storage solutions. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
