} Does anyone know of a good scsi-to-scsi RAID controller that can do RAID } level 5 and that would be great for a file server application. I'm } presently using disk ccd for our news servers. Each server carries the } same information, so I'm looking to consoladate the information on one } fileserver. } } Looking into Mylex's DAC960SI, which seems to be a good product (on } paper). Has anyone had experience with the Mylex product or any other } that you might want to recommend. } Be careful. From what I've heard here ccd does a good job of increasing performance. Don't expect that from your average cheap RAID controller. RAID 5 is a compute-intensive system. It can be made fast, but at this stage many aren't. Mylex RAIDs I've looked at haven't been any faster than the component drives. Richardhome | help
