A 2 port version (RAID1,0) gives really great speeds and performance. You cant beat the price at ~ $130 USD. I have been using a 4 port version with 160 gig on 2 RAID 0 stripes for a couple of months now with fantastic = price/performance. I am also deploying a few RAID 1 boxes based on the two port versions. Drivers are very stable on STABLE, and very fast even in RAID 1.=20 ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) =09 Sentex Communications Corp, =09 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers=20 could setup a national IP network."
