Thanks Fast is a generic term. Be more specific. Fast RAID for a database, web server or a streaming application requires a different selection criteria. |

Thanks 39320 is not a RAID controller... You could possibly use software RAID0 solution, but I don't recommend it... Here is a list of Adaptec's RAID controllers: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/sup...e=supportindex Also check LSI and ICP Vortex... Second... What kind of speed you need?

Don't be stupid. Hardware RAID is of no benefit on the desktop, especially
from Adaptec. If you do not have PCI-X, the fastest (STR) available is RAID 0 on Intel's i9XX and nForce4 SATA2. If you want a fast workstation, get a 15K SCSI OS drive, and IDE for data. wrote in message ... 39320 is not a RAID controller...

Just not an all purpose one. You could possibly use software RAID0 solution, That is what all RAID is, software. The only difference is where this software runs on/runs in, whether that's a dedicated processor, bios+driver or driver only. but I don't recommend it... Who cares what you recommend. Here is a list of Adaptec's RAID controllers: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/sup...e=supportindex Also check LSI and ICP Vortex... Second... What kind of speed you need? Fast read, write, seek? Do you always have to ask questions that the post already answers? |

You could possibly use software RAID0
solution, but I don't recommend it... Why not? Will it make a serious impact on performance of a dual opteron. Second... What kind of speed you need? Fast read, write, seek? Fastest possible - read, write, seek. http://www.fcpa.fujitsu.com/products...specifications. html |

Fast is a generic term. Be more specific. Fast RAID for a
database, web server or a streaming application requires a different selection criteria. This workstation is used for various 35mm film and hdtv video production effects. |
