OK, that's good to know. If I was to go with a 3ware setup $~1000 for a 4 port controller and 4 drive cage, do you have any recommendations on servers to put it in? 4 x 200GB drives runs about $700 so we are up to $1700 but I guess the budget can be made a bit more flexible. The company was originally quoted $2500 for a HP ML310 running Windows 2K3 SBS and $2000 for a Tape drive. I am wanting to show them that there are better options in life than being tied to MS solutions. That and they don't actually need all the complicated features of SBS. Thanks much, hads -- Eat drink and be merry! Tommorrow you may be in Utah.
