Hi Finn-Arne, 

thanks for sharing your experience - I don't think we'll use a DAC 
controller.

Does this mean you'd plea to use a plain SCSI PCI controller and doing 
RAID-5(?) as software solution? Is it a problem to get a message if a 
hardware Raid controller detects a disk failure?

Thanks for any clarification :)
