G'day.

My company is putting together a system with lots of file system on it =
to do disk based backup.

Under 5.1-CURRENT what's the best supported (and performing optimally) =
SATA RAID controller (RAID 0, maybe 5)? What manufacturer/model of SATA =
disks do you recommend for that controller?

This is our first forray into the world of SATA and we want to make it =
painless. I realize I've probably not supplied enough info for a solid =
answer but perhaps for a starting place?

Thanks.

-Steve
