OK, it will be a little bit Overkill... 

But there are peoples with such workstations.  :-)
30 x 147 GByte U320 Disks...

They are working with Video/AUDIO and "blender"  :-)

Hi Michelle,
I have an external RAID system, and as such do not need a RAID 
controller...

Would you still use the ICP vortex to connect 1 disk?

"Adaptec" is good, but "IPC Vortex" is better.

You can get a IBM server RAID card for about $200.
http://froogle.google.com/froogle?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&tab=wf&q=%22ibm+serveraid+4l%22&scoring=p

I like the IBM server RAID card on our mailserver:

01:02.0 RAID bus controller: IBM Netfinity ServeRAID controller
Subsystem: IBM: Unknown device 020e
Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, slow devsel, latency 96, IRQ 21
Memory at f4ffc000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=8K]
Expansion ROM at  [disabled] [size=512K]
Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2

Uses kernel module 'isp.o'

Adaptec also makes good ones.
