We have two MD1000 attached to a PE2950. We have a PERC5/E. With the PERC5/E you can have RAID 0 (stripe). So, if I understood what you're wanting, you shall be able to create one RAID 0 volume for each disk, or a single RAID0 for all disks. > > In the meantime, I wondered if anyone on the list is actually using a > SAS5/E to attach an MD1000, and can relate their experience? > > (Note that we want the drives to have standard partitioning, which would > seem to make a PERC6/E unsuitable for this application.) > > Thanks for any comments, > > Philip J.
