External RAID hardware recommendations - Promise, JetStor, Nexsan...
We selected the Promise VTrak 300i primarily to store disk-to-disk
backups, and secondarily as storage for Exchange and application servers. I've since heard from suppliers that Promise has terrible customer support. Vendors have suggested JetStor or Nexsan as better choices. Is Promise a company to avoid? Is JetStor any better? Comments/recommendations welcome. Alan |

If you can not afford an EMC, Netapp, HP, or IBM. I would go with Nexsan. I have not heard anything bad about them. They are the low end but if that is what you need it may be the best fit. I imagine you are doing network attached storage and running CIFS file sharing. Carmelo |

I second that. We have 15+ Nexsan arrays (both ATABOY and ATABeast) and
they are the best vaule for the price. Very stable and excellent support. Now they are moving towards SATA drives which is a good thing. |
