the thing to note on the Thumper (X4540), each of those 48 SATA drives has its own channel to the system bus. I believe it uses 6 8-port SATA controllers, each attached to the Opteron's Hypertransport via PCI-Express x4. this means you can hit some really high aggregate IO speeds... _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
