Hi,

I'm in the process of designing a large server system. The primary
consideration will be i/o performance (block read and write of large
files and maximum i/o's per second) and a filesystem size of 2TB. I'm
planning to go with 2 3ware 7500-8's, 16 Maxtor 4G160J8's (160GB) and
do software raid0 between the 7500-8's (raid5). The filesystem will
either be Reiser or Ext3. Any suggestions for fast dual cpu
motherboards or comments are welcome. Thanks for any information.

Andy
