Re: Fibre Channel Hardware List...
I've just put up a simple Fibre Channel "Suggest Hardware Matrix" as the beginnings of what one might expect for Fibre Channel in FreeBSD- see http://people.freebsd.org/~mjacob/Fibre_Channel_Hardware.txt Suggestions welcome! As you asked, just suggestions here from someone who is putting FC stuff together for my own :-) - "Very expensive (in my opinion)" - if you mention "expensive"-"not expensive", I would propose to add rough price estimations too - this might be of interest for beginners imho. "I have used lots of different Seagate and a few IBM drives and typically have had few problems with them." - and absolutely nothing about single channel vs dual channel, issues with putting them together etc ? What's up with "1026Gbit" - is it really true ? Regards, Andrei To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: Fibre Channel Hardware List...
Oh, yeah, about this, 2300 support is comint "real soon" -this will be 2GBit. Thanks ! And for the page too - very good and useful !! For poor owners of 2GB-ready Seagates, I wonder can you advise on any affordable 2GB enclosure ? Everything affordable I saw is a bit old and 1GB-only. Of course, I don't now if it will make any real difference - will burst speed twice as fast or what ? Would be really nice to hear from someone knowledgeable :-) Thanks again !

Sorry for the confusion, I meant drives capable of 2 Gbit/s, which the 2300 will supposingly support. My question was that many enclosure support 1 Gbit/s, right ? So, I was wondering have you heard about those which support 2 [Gbit/s] ? Because one do need to have something in between the 2300 card and Cheetah-4 FC drive, right :-) ? Adapter in a case of 1 drive only, I presume, and enclosure in the case of multiple drives. Thanks again ! You're welcome!
