Chips on the cards might be LSI (I do remember seeing one on the P400i) but the interface is SmartArray. I just recently did some testing on a P400i with 512MB BBWC (DL360g5 with 2xXeon 5160) which had a 4x72GB 10K Raid5. 6.2-RC2 build world in about 13.5 minutes. Using dd to write a sequential 10GB file had a throughput of about 150MB/sec. -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://seven.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html
