Thanks. I'll try them. I eventually noticed you could actually get the number to them under the "LSI offices" category of their find-your-contact web form system which otherwise looked like a re-seller inventory. > I recommend the SuperMicro card - but that is PCI-X and I think you're > looking for PCI-Express? PCI is okay and nice, PCI-Express is nicer. PCI-X I don't want since it is only semi-compatible with PCI.

I am okay with a one-disk mirror/stripe in the worse case, as long as cache flushes and such get passed through. Would definitely prefer JBOD though since single-disk virtual volumes tend to cause some additional headachages (like having two levels of volumen management). > Please let us know what you find out...
