Have you considered an A1000 instead? Same as a D1000 (8 or 12 bay) but with its own RAID controller etc. You can find refurbished units at reasonable price. You will have Linux support out of the box without having to worry about anything else (it uses a supported Sun diff-scsi card)...

(for e450) curious if anyone has any reccomendations for a SCSI RAID card? I am contemplating getting a E450 and would like hardware raid if possible, looking for a at least a dual channel card so it can support an internal raid and an external(or I suppose I could just get 2 cards). Would like the most stable/linux friendly card available. Would be great if it supported raid 10 too. oh and would like to be able to boot off of it and store the root filesystem on it, and would like any experiences on hot swapping. the external storage I'd likely be looking to get is a Storedge D1000 thanks a lot for any advice anyone can offer!! nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
