May I suggest checking out the LSI (nee 3Ware) controllers? Some of them are very, very nice, with a full suite of RAID capabilities, GUI web interface or CLI (though getting it running on Debian is, alas, not entirely easy; ask me for a repo I found if you go this route), all sorts of live modifications to the array, etc. Oh, yeah: and it's "real" RAID, with the XOR ASIC onboard, and a battery for non-volatile flushes. -Ken > The expander is prefered to be sas2 so I dont have to upgrade things > later on. 1 controller has to be pcix the other could be either x or e. > the p600 looks like a good fit for my needs and price but cant really find > a good answer as to what expanders will work with it. > > suggestions are appriciated. > > also has any one played much with the 8-12 core amd's? looking to set up > a pair of boards to run a bunch of vm's > > > >
