Re: AMD or Intel?



Obviously if you can afford SCSI/SAS performance will likely be even
better. However make sure you can get management program for the
controller. At the very least some type of notification if the raid is
degraded.

We will probably go for SCSI. HP DL380 with "HP SmartArray", aka ciss.

This server is very solid and is fully supported by FreeBSD 6.2 and
7.0. We have one with 4 146 GB sas-disks in raid 1+0. Just make sure
you get at least 256 MB cache. The raid-management tool is very easy
to use.
