hi ya warren... i have scsi3 based raid5 with 6 drives in 1U chassis running.. fans/cooling is not as much of an issue....now days they have a better powersupply too 220W instead of the 150 that i was using the scsi are better cause it power cycles itself in sequence so the 0.5A draw at 12v is not as bad....as on ide with 6drive * 0.5A each tweeking the ide drives/systems to run at ata-100 speeds is another "fun project"?? have fun raiding... alvin http://www.linux-1U.net -- 1U raid5 -- On Fri, 22 Dec 2000, Warren Young wrote: > Alvin Oga wrote: > > > > anybody out there building 500Gb raid5 boxes in 1U chassis ??? > > That'd be quite a trick.
