The fellow at Tenex didn't have the answer to most of my
questions, but he took a list back to one of his engineers and he'll
get back to me on Monday. ;-)

The CMD Daytona RAIDarray looks like a winner in this arena. I'm
interested in the version with their CRD-5300 integrated with a
six-bay tower. It will take up to 64MB of battery-backed RAM,
supports hot-swappable drives, supports command queueing and has
redundant power supplies. You just have a single SCSI F/W cable
plugged into the back.

After spending several hours early Saturday morning reconfiguring
our NFS server because of a bad drive in a conventional external case
with those annoying screw-on drive rails, I'm going to enjoy having a
real cabinet to work with. :)
