MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Virus-Scanned: Maia Mailguard 1.0.1 X-Archive-Number: 200804/212 X-Sequence-Number: 29705 Thinking about buying the Powervault MD3000 SAS array with 15 15k 300GB disks for use as a postgres tablespace. Is anyone using these (or other LSI/Engenio rebadge jobs?). I'm interested in hearing about performance of the array, and problems (if any) with Dell's SAS HBA that comes bundled. Also interested in performance of the maximum config of an MD3000 with two MD1000 shelves. -Jeff
