In other words, if the card fails, is it possible to take the disks and connect them directly to any non-RAID SATA/SAS motherboard? Or would you need a replacement card to read the data? (There should be a special term for proprietary JBOD formats to prevent people from being burned by this... something like "JBOPD".) -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies, http://www.tigertech.net/
