AFAIK, SCSI RAID has been around for eons. I think first used it on a Novell 3.12 server back in 1993 or something like that. The machine was a compaq P90 server with a smart array controller. 3-4.3 GB hard drives gave us 8.5 GB of usable spce, which was waaaayyyyyy more that we could have ever imagined using. -- /g
