-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there. I have an IBM Netfinity 5000 server I just picked up, and it has an Adaptec AAA-131U2 (aic7815 chipset) RAID card in it, attached to 5 IBM Branded (Seagate ST39204LC) Hot Swap Ultra160 9.1gig SCSI Harddrives. My question is, since that chipset is unsupported for hardware RAID, would I be better off to software RAID them, or get a different RAID card? Contingent question is, if I should get another RAID card, what would be a good, supported, entry level card? This server will be purposed as a webserver for a small webhosting company, maybe 100 sites on it. Running Postfix,Bind,Apache2,PHP,Postgresql,etc Thanks for the help! - --Aaron -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFCk0Ds/mrzqN8FLFURAp15AJUYy2qw69BsB1OrCDk0lLNEjom4AJ4maVRq WzD8N71349KhBLPYy5zrfg== =cxo+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
