Where can I find 100GB SCSI disks? wcarchive.cdrom.com has 106GB of disk...sounds liek what you need. it has 3 SCSI controllers: 2 AHA-2940 PCI SCSI 1 AHA-3940UW PCI dual-channel SCSI i dont know how the disks are divided up or their size but 9 9GB disks should get you there, or get 12 9GB and put 3 disks on each controller channel (3 disks per AHA-2940, 3 per channel on hte AHA-3940UW) (caveat: i have not done this myself) jmb
