I'm buying a new server for a colocated web host and I'd like to buy one of the all-in-one boxes like the Dell 4100 or Micron Netframe. The Dell uses the AMI MegaRAID 434, the Micron uses Intel's new i960 RAID controller. My research from earlier posts is that AMI was not helpful. Is that still the case? Leasing becomes much simpler if it's just one box, although from a long-term perspective I'm better off to go with a Winchester Systems multi-host standalone SCSI-3 RAID box and some smaller servers like Dell 2200's. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo  To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
