If ur looking for a fast RAID product that's reasonably priced I'ld take a look at NetCell's SyncRAID product (http://www.netcell.com/) which uses a 64 bit RAID-3 variant they call RAID XL. It got a good review from Tom's Hardware Guide and it looks like they've really solved the read-calc-write problem of RAID-5. -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede males" 00000100 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
