I have to disagree. These seem to be flipped around. Raid 1 is faster than a single drive for reads, but about the same for writes. To get more speed, use raid 0+1, striping plus mirroring. That wastes a lot of disk, but is faster than level 5 for writes. Keep in mind, RAID 1 is only

Actually, I figured you wanted it in a 1u, since you mentioned the integrated video. These will fit. That's what Akamai has done. They sacrifice the dual processor ability, use a slot1 riser card for each cpu slot and stick the terminator in one, cpu in other, and use some sort of small

I like the Intel Lancewood. It's got a silly Phoenix bios, but other than that, It's excellent. It's got a 440GX+, integrated lan/video, two slot 1 cpu slots supporting up to 800MHz CuMines. It's also got an Adaptec 7890 onboard u2w/lvd controller. Normally, I don't like Intel, but this one

I absolutely love the Mylex controllers. The AccelleRAID 150 has a 33MHz i960 and is available in one channel w/ 4meg cache for about $400. I'd suggest that for a small 2-drive RAID. Linux support is native, DAC960 driver. On Tue, Jul 25, 2000 at 09:49:50AM -0400, Allen Ahoffman wrote: I'm
