This will be used in a test environment and could get moved between machines, so I'd like something with it's own RAID controller. Support for a broad range of OSes is important. Can anyone recommend hardware as well as vendors? Feel free to reply off-list. -- Jim C. Nasby, Sr. Engineering Consultant jnasby@pervasive.com Pervasive Software http://pervasive.com 512-569-9461
