Okay, I'm scheduled to build a system next month, give me the name of a good controller which will do four drives and which can be used as a dumb controller as well, and I'll grab six drives for the build and run a test (baring a change in schedule, obviously). I'll run as many RAID configs as make sense, whatever the hardware supports. And also four way RAID-1 for a heavy read application, to see if the software RAID does better than the controller, if it can do that at all. -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979.
