    Dell PERC6e + Norco 4220 + LSI MegaCLI software

    Hi folks. Have been an interested reader for a bit but never had to post a question before, so here goes :-) I built up a 4220 attached to a PERC6/e (currently there are only 8 physical drives). They're whirring along in a RAID10 setup quite nicely. All the controller smarts are in another...
