Looking at Dell’s Premier site, the least expensive option only offers a Software RAID5, unless I’m mis-reading the options. Would you guys rather have a Hardware RAID0 / RAID1 or a software RAID5? Any other options I should be looking at for a small server? We’re primarily a Dell shop here, but I can look at others, including “white box” servers, so long as I can get some sort of warranty / hardware support on it. <bloated sig removed> ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ________________________________ Any medical information contained in this electronic message is CONFIDENTIAL and privileged.
