Hardware for 4.0

2000-02-22 Thread mwlucas

Hello,

I'm purchasing a server to run 4.0 on.  It won't be in production
immediately, but I need to get a quote ASAP.

What SCSI card would people recommend?  It doesn't need RAID.
Any particular SCSI tape drive?

I'll probably buy a midrange Asus motherboard and a nice Intel fxp
NIC to go on it.  Any other recommendations?

Thanks,
==ml

I like the Adapdec 2940 cards for low-medium end servers.

The fxp cards are good, but I usually use the 3Com 905[BC] cards.

If you can actually get them  Last time I bought a drive we
weren't able to get IBM in any reasonable timeframe and ended up with
a Seagate instead.  (And that Cheetah 18LP's not a bad drive, either.)

Should you run into that problem again give me a call.  We deal directly
with one of the larger official distributors of IBM hard drives.  Last
inventory check showed about 4,000+ IBM 25L1900/25L1910's on the shelf.

Yeah, the Seagates are good too.  I wish they'd come up with temperature
sensors like IBM, though. :)

But I'm surprised you had trouble getting IBM drives.  NECX (www.necx.com)
at least, usually has most IBM SCSI disks in stock.
