It seems Mylex has worldwide shortage of their AcceleRAID 250 controllers owing to a shortage of Intels i960 chipset or some such problem. I need to get a new server up asap. Anyway, I have been offered the option of the AcceleRAID 150 immediately as a possible alternative to an indefinate wait for a 250. The only (reported) differences being the 250 has a 66MhZ processor and 8MB RAM, while the 150 has a 33MHz processor and 4MB RAM. The saving is minimal (+/- $150 cheaper) - but time is of the essence. Now, this machine is going to be doing web serving primarily, apache and mysql for db-driven websites. It hosts a few mailboxes as well. Its going to be setup in a RAID0+1 setup, 4X9G Cheetahs. Based on this stated intended usage , is going for a 150 really going to impede performance or would I be better holding out for the 250 ? Thanks in advance for the help !
