Hi All,

Looking for suggestions for an economical (< $1000) "poor man's" RAID 1+0 4-drive storage solution for a dual 2.0 G5 Xserve that must be used as a dedicated database server. It is a cluster node model with just one hard-drive bay.

It has Firewire 800 ports and 2 PCI-X slots. One PCI slot has a video card, one is empty.

I was thinking possibly of a esata PCIX card with a OWC 4-drive hardware RAID rack unit: http://www.datoptic.com/cgi-bin/web.cgi?product=eSATA_pcix&detail=yes - $99 http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/RAID/Rack_Mount/FireWire_eSATA_USB2_RAID - $850 (includes 4 x 500GB enterprise hard drives)

There will be 2 slaves continuously replicating for additional data protection.

Any thoughts or other suggestions?

Regards, Kieran
