The HP-145 M1 and IBM e326, witch both works well, with the IBM giving me some minor issues every few months, but looks like it cleared up over time with various upgrades.
I'm not sure if I would recommend the DL-145s. I bought about 2 dozen of them, and fortunately (or unfortunately), I had to buy all the upgrades separately (bto would have added another month to two at that time). The scsi cable was just a tad too short on around half of them (for the second scsi drive). Ram wasn't seated properly on a couple of them. And I bought lsi's short profile raid card, and for some reason, I couldn't do hardware raid on some of the drives until after a full format on both drives. Some drives showed up as 143xxxM and the others showed up as 141xxxM. After a low level format, both showed up as 143xxxM, and I can now raid-1 them. No cable management system (a velcro clip so does not count) that ships with the system. Best part was the HP sales critter laughing at me for buying them. So, highly don't recommend the DL145s. -- "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.
