Hello fellow Postgresql'ers.I've been stumbled on this RAID card which looks nice. It is a PCI-X SATA Raid card with 6 channels, and does RAID 0,1,5,10,50.It is a HP card with an Adaptec chip on it, and 64 MB cache. HP Part # : 372953-B21 Adaptec Part # : AAR-2610SA/64MB/HP There' even a picture : http://megbytes.free.fr/Sata/DSC05970.JPGI know it isn't as good as a full SCSI system.

It is to run on a Linux.Thanks in advance for your time and information. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
