Oh yes. Tyan + 3ware allowed me to build a 3K box that had 2 SCSI disks for the system and 8 IDE 200GB disks for a 3ware raid 10 array, dual Opteron 242s and 2GB of ECC RAM and a redundant power supply about three/four years ago. Nearest competition was twice the cost. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
