In general, when writing messages to this list, you need to be more
concise about what you are asking. I see so much information here, I'm
not sure what is relevant to your few interspersed questions and what is
not. I will try to answer your specific question...

The company where I work now has grown fast in the past year and we
suddenly find ourselves in need of a lot of storage. For 5 years the
company ran on a 60gig server, last year we got a 1TB RAID that is now
almost full.

MD3000 series doesn't seem to have raid 6 support, which could be very
useful with lots of sata drives.
Also MD3000i doesn't specify LACP support for the dual or quad Ethernet
ports on the enclosure. But
a pe1950 + perc 6 with MD1000 has raid 6 support and the OSS can benefit
from good ethernet
Thank you very much for this feedback Balagopal, it's extremely useful.
I will look into the MD1000 and revise my plan.

FYI
Dell MD3000 storage supports RAID6 but you need to uprade RAID
controllers with the latest firmware to Version:07.35.22.60, A06
You can
download it from Dell support website.
