IMHO hardware RAID trumps software RAID. In order to use the latter your system must still be operational to some extent.

better solution rather than have a machine with raid is to investigate

I will be using Debian, and as long as the Linux Kernel supports the SATA controller, the rest shouldn't be any problems.
If it's SATA RAID, I probably will use ordinary Linux software RAID, since it's more powerful than the simple one in the controller.

Hi again folks! ;)

As before, I will transform one E1 30 Channel PRI into 30 FXS channels using Adit 600.

Now I'm into choosing server platform. And the two opponents are:
* Dell PowerEdge 750 w/ SCSI RAID (or even SATA RAID1)
* FujistuSiemens PRIMERGY RX100 S2 (SATA RAID1)


If you're planning to use SATA RAID on PE750, make sure your Linux
distro supports. Your best bet - use Redhat Enterprise Linux or one of
it derivatives. I'm using Centos 3, it autodetects the RAID whilst
Mandrake 10 failed.


As I've seen people having problem with HP server, I havn't looked at it at all.

What experience do you have with the alternatives above? Which would you recommend?

And another question at the same time; what's really E1?
How is E1 devices connected? Seems like regular Cat5 cables, but it problably ian't?
If anyone's using Adit 600, did they send all cables required for connecting to the FXS channels? Seems like a very unique "plug" on the side of Adit.


Thanks!
