I've seen some concerns about buying database performance hardware from DELL. Are there at least some of the RAID cards that work well with Linux or should I stay clear of DELL permanently?
People seem to be doing OK if the RAID card is their Perc/6i, which has an LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 chipset under the hood. There's some helpful benchmark results and follow-up meesages related to one of those at http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
That said, I consider the rebranded LSI cards a pain and hate the quality of Dell's hardware. Seems like everybody I talk to lately is buying HP's DL380 instead of Dells for this level of Linux installs nowadays, I haven't gotten one of those HP boxes myself yet to comment.
