I'm just in the process of putting together a new server ... Intel SR1400 based, Dual Xeon ... the plan, at this time, is to make this my first 5.x based box, and am curious as to what is considered a *well supported and stable* card? Two of my 4.x servers are running Intel RAID controllers, and I just love the storcon CLI, since it provides me with everything I need, from the command line, to remote admin the machine, minus a set of hands to swap drives, including the 'real time' monitor of the drives ... So, I'd prefer something that has a similar CLI, in terms of functionality, but I also want something that is going to be rock solid with the operating system as well ... I like the Zero-Channel stuff ... smaller footprint ... since the motherboard already has the onboard SCSI ... but it would have to be a 0CH card that works with the Intel SE7520JR2 motherboard ... Recommendations? Thanks ... ---- Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email: scrappy@hub.org Yahoo!: yscrappy ICQ: 7615664
