Thing is I'm not entirely sure where to start, we're using 6 SAS drives and also need a bbu cache. The perc5i has 256mb which I'm sure would be fine for us. We're using debian etch 64 bit. What cards have you lot had success with? Any tips would be appreciated. ___________________________________________________________ Rise to the challenge for Sport Relief with Yahoo!
