>Which controller are you using with the 2 drives? 3Ware
Somebody just said yesterday that 3ware has changed the 7000 series firmware but has not upgraded the FreeBSD twe driver yet, so 3ware won't fly now. the linux 3ware driver is apparently up to sync with the firmware. > or Promise? the TX2 Ultra133 looks like about best deal now. The disks should have 8 MB cache, and somebody said that activating "tagged queueing" would speed up disk operations. >Are you also specifying single or dual xeons for these systems? single Celeron, 1.5 GHz is quite lot. I can't see any need for Xeon or dual anything in an IMGate machine. > And are >the specs the same for the Postfix boxes as the Imail ones? Imail has different requirements. Mailbox storage reliability means RAID1, plus hotter CPU and more RAM for Webmail, if you have lots of concurrent webmail users. Len
