A box that would meet our needs would be something along the lines of a power edge 1650. These come with PERC3-DI,128MB Battery Backed Cache RAID cards. Does anyone have an experience using these cards with bsd and, actually replacing a disk (raid 5) using the raid utilis that come with the 4.8 branch of BSD ?
