You'd be better off with RAID 1 for that. Note that large-cache controllers mitigate RAID-5's write overhead. Over course, they cost more, blah blah, but when you are putting together a few TB worth of SCSI disks, RAID-5 becomes a necessity (unless you have the deepest of pockets), and so the cost of such up-scale controllers isn't so horrible. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B The difference between drunken sailors and Congressmen is that drunken sailors spend their own money.
