I love the CMD RAID controllers. There is a local shop here in Chicagoland, CompuElectronics, which can do integration and build-up for you on basically anything. They're not the cheapest, but they do good work, and I've been extremely happy with them in the past. Call 847-679-2667, ask for Rom. They have available some mongo-huge array cases with redundant power and incredible numbers of bays (20+) for this kind of job. That kind of thing is not cheap, but it can be done. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@denninger.net) http://www.mcs.net/~karl I ain't even *authorized* to speak for anyone other than myself, so give up now on trying to associate my words with any particular organization.
