Gene - Just my experience here, but it might be best to go with a more customized RAID solution from a storage company, rather than a one size fits all solution from a company like Dell. I have one of their powervault 200s and it always gives me problems when I try to use it on a Linux machine. not sure if its the dell poweredge raid scsi adapter, raid controller, or what, but it rarely works. Good luck at any rate. .djc. Gene L Reynolds/GYR/CC01/INEEL/US wrote: > > Hi all, I am trying to purchase a server from DELL Computers. I need about > 500gb Raid capacity.
