I have an Idea. Since 3ware is selling an 8 port card.. Ostensibly to be used with 8 devices in the system, do they have any reccoemndations? Have they done any empirical testing? I mean it sounds like a good idea to say .. hey if you are using our 8 port card with 8 drives better make sure you have X power supply rating etc in their manual? Can someone at 3ware do some testing if this hasn't been done? I will do what I can with what I have available, but obviosly their testing would be more highly regarded. I am willing to go to 3ware and do the testing with them if we can work something out. I think it would be a good idea. Also is there anyone currently using 8 drives in a system following this? What are you using?
