Re: [PERFORM] suggested RAID controller for FreeBSD 6.1 + PostgreSQL 8.1

Thanks for the suggestion Mark, though the server chassis I am trying to utilize already has 4 10,000 RPM SCSI drives with SCA interfaces. Ideally I would like to use the existing drives and chassis and find another SCSI RAID controller. It looks like 3Ware only makes ATA controllers. -Kenji On
