On linux raid: Linux raid supports hot swapping well. It doesn't care about the hardware, which is being swapped, much. Obviously, in simple disk scenario, which is used fot sw raid, only scsi and SATA can be hot-swapped. Also, make sure that the motherboard supports hot-swap SATA, i've seen some

I agree, use either SCSI with hardware raid with a battery backed cache or use sata/ide with linux software raid. Linux raid SCSI also works well, but if you go for the scsi drives might as well get the controller too. The firmware raid on the cheap sata/ide cards have left me stranded several

I also agree. You want a raid controller that has it's own CPU. You want hot spare, hot swapping, status lights, etc. to be handled by that controller. If you have a hot spare you want automatic cutover to that spare drive. You are not limited to SCSI with these controllers. Some manufactures

Not that it's very widely used, but I thought it worth mentioning, if you intend to use TDMoE with multiple Asterisk servers locally your ethernet will be fairly well saturated and you will want a second NIC connected to a separate isolated network for your TDMoE trunks. MATT---On 9/8/05, Dave
