Hi there, (late but...) Barry and Dave talking about GSSR10x 1U: > On Fri 2001-07-20 (14:08), Dave VanAuken wrote: > > Any experience using either of these in a FreeBSD 4.3 stable environment? Sure, got the 101 and it works really good. Equipped with 2 PIII/650, 512MB RAM, a ZNYX Quad Ethernet in FastEtherChannel Mode and with 2 ATA-100 disk drives (striped) it's running without any flaws - as an internal Fileserver (lets say, for multimedia purposes... *g*). I checked out the features of the 102, but decided not to get this one, instead waiting for the 103 sample (which is going to be delivered to us in about one month). Features are like the 102, but with 10/100/1000 Intel NIC interface, Adaptec SCSI320 onboard and IPMI support.

Agree, construction is really good, and enough fans to keep that hardware cooled. Btw, I can _not_ recommend the 101 as far as the IDE-Raid is a software-only solution and the FreeBSD-Drivers still don't support this correctly (ex: if one drive fails in a two-mirrored- driveset, the system is going to hang). > I've been wanting to get these in to have a > look with but still waiting for the local supplier.

End of November, the 102 was available as an engineering sample in 03/2001. > Barry HTH, Oliver -- -- http://www.nextra.de - INTERNET@WORK ----- oliver.blasnik@nextra.de -- Nextra Deutschland | Oliver Blasnik Senior System Administrator GmbH & Co KG | Lyoner Strasse 26 D-60528 Frankfurt Engineering TA&S | tel +49-69-66441-0 fax +49-69-66441-199 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
