Don't know what to expect, but I have a similar config. I have 5 Quantaum Atlas I 4G (fast wide) drives in a RAID-5 config on one bus of of PM3334UW/2 and 5 Quantum Viking 4.55G (ultra wide) also in a RAID-5 config on the other bus. The system is a 180MHz Pentium Pro with 128MB of memory. The DPT has a full 64MB of cache (non ecc). If you want me to run a test and tell you how it performs I will. What type of test would you like to see? BTW, the system still crashes every few days. Don't know for sure if it's probelms with the system, the DPT or the DPT driver - I'm still working on it. It was very stable before installing the DPT and the 10 new drives. Curt
