We could really use that. Had to to a transfer to the backup server yesterday because the HDs are failing in that Unix Box.

Yum, 300 GB RAID 5 15k RPM SCSI. Does it get better than that?

My video editing machine has dual 2.66GHz Xeons, 2GB memory, and for the data array it's got eight 250GB drives running off a 133MHz/64-bit RaidCore SATA RAID controller (the boot drive is just a single 160GB SATA drive). Not as good as SCSI for most fileserver uses, but for video work, SATA works okay, and video takes lots and lots of storage space, so it's a reasonable tradeoff. Sustained read speeds off the array work out to a little more than 350 Megabytes/sec.
