Re: SCSI Raid Controller recommendations

Thanks for the help.

Have to get this box up pretty rapidly, so I decided to just do
software RAID. However, am going to order a couple of cards and test
them so the next time I'll have something I'm comfortable with. I
will definitely get one of the LSI's, and probably one of the
Intel's to see how "fast" it is.

Again, thanks for the advice.
