For non-raid5, 3Ware is good enough, I think. The larger Areca-cards can do RAID6, which gives more redundancy and a performance-boost during array-rebuilds. They also have an optional battery-backed-cache, which is lacking on smaller 3Ware cards. But this has got nothing to do with Proliants per-se ;-) I'd try to get a Proliant with SCSI and ZeroChannel RAID. cheers, Rainer
