What RAID level do you plan on using? Mirroring shouldn't use much CPU, fo= r=20 example, but parity might put a bit of a load on a hard-working system. That's a good question, though. Several cards are listed in the hardware=20 compatibility notes, but they stop short of saying "this card is completely= =20 supported" or "stay away from this one". What cards have people had good=20 luck with in practice? =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --nextPart4565803.isVfcmgf9Q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQBCk3jn5sRg+Y0CpvERAmmnAJ91lDg03pLq0y5c7ltkO+VfKJww3ACfYNOx iR9QHORRDqCABVOnTbWAsbw= =FLlO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart4565803.isVfcmgf9Q--
