Hi, Personally, Linksys and netgear are pure grade 1 childrens toys. Or pure adulterated CRAP. If you want performance use Intel Pro/1000 Server NICs If you are going to use Fibre, check the hardware list. We use QLogic. Mind you we build the Cadillac of PC Servers :) Regards, Lanny Richard you have SCSI the other person seems to have ATA.
