Again, I appreciate the responses. Damon:
I am dealing with HW RAID. I looked for the "geometry" for my controller, but could not find it. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64179&taskId=101&prodTypeId=329290&prodSeriesId=1157686 I am very curious about the geometry too... I don't know enough to pick and choose the optimal setting. Since I am working in the academic field, I would like to really understand this "geometry setting". Can someone please elaborate on this topic?
