Incidentally,
There have been some discussions on this list and others in general about
Dell's version of RAID cards, and server support, mainly linux support.
I was pretty impressed with the Dell guy. He spent the day with me remotely

Last I checked, the v40z only takes 5 drives, unless you yank the cd-rom and
get an extra disk tray. That's the main defect of t
