The older the card, the easier it becomes to get at eBay or such. Besides, in 3 or 4 years it's pobably a) not economic to upgrade the same disk size anymore so one will likely set up a new array some time anyway. and somehow I guess raid5 will be onboard with a dedicated xor processor or cpus will be able to do that along the way so on ewill adapt to new tech. > The size of the data is more relevant than the size of the company.
