Hello all,
We're putting together a new box to handle mail.. thought I would pick your
brains a little for advice. Hopefully someone has done this already.
We are planning on using 4x9gig Cheetahs in a RAID 0+1 configuration..
Currently we are looking at two RAID-RAID controllers.
1) Mylex 2 CHANNEL RAID W-U SCSI DACSXI
2) CMD CRD-5440 or CRD-5500's
Few questions.. can anyone recommend one of the above controllers over the
other? If so, for what reasons. Does the RAID 0+1 seem like the way to go?
Or should we go with something like RAID 5?
The reason we aren't going with something like the DPT controllers is that
you have to boot to DOS to fix a failure... which isn't good imho. Any other
controller/setup recommendations are welcome..
TIA,
Jason
