Henning Brauer, Thanks a lot for your feedback. I found it to be very interesting.
I enjoyed your suggestion on MegaRAID. I found MegaRAID SCSI 320-4x at http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/scsi_320_4x.html Does any uses it? Does it rock? BTW: Is obsd support fully deployed? Or it does not support things like hotswap, etc..... Does obsd support RAID on LSI53c10[2|3]0 HBA? Thanks.
