I'd go for hardware RAID rather than software/controller RAID. You can buy devices that just plug into your SCSI bus and appear like on VERY large, VERY fast SCSI drive. Hot swap, striping, error-correction, the works. Controller/software based solutions will never be as flexable. > Otherwise, our webserver may turn into an NT box (PUKE). I'm surprised that you need RAID for web serving at all. You'd need a VERY high hit rate, or be pumping out large documents to need such access speed. Gary
