    SATA 3x5 Drive Cages?

    I'm currently looking for 3 3x5 sata drive cages. I'm thinking of going with the http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817995001 brand one. However, none of the 3x5 cages I've been looking at have slots for cases with drive rails in them. The iStarUSA...

    PCI Express SATA Controller NO RAID

    Does such a beast exist? I'm looking for one with 8 sata ports but no raid functionality. Just a controller like the Supermicro SAT2-MV8. And works under Linux.

    Looking for Advice on XFS vs. ReiserFS

    I'm looking for opinions on using XFS or ReiserFS for large raid arrays. My current setup is 8x400 using LVM2 to partition it and ReiserFS. But I was going to use The Hunters technique to go to 8x750 and was wondering if it would be better to bring up the 8x750 as new array and make it XFS...

    Multibay Cages w/ YY-0221

    A buddy of mine has moved his raid out of his YeongYang YY-0221 and into a bigger home. I've been thinking of buying it from him. My raid setup has 8 drives in an external enclosure plus then the server itself with 5 in an array and 1 os drive in its own enclosure. (Antec 900s)...

    Amount of drives in a Raid 5 Array?

    I currently have 2 raid5 arrays. 6 drives in one and 8 drives in the other. Each array has 1 drive set aside for a spare. The 6 are 250s and the 8 are 320s. I've been tossing around getting 4 more 320s and switching out the 250s for those new 4. I was going to grow the 8 drives with the...

    16 port PCI-E controller?

    I've been looking around for a 16 port PCI-E controller for some sata drives. I don't want RAID at all on the card. Does such a beast exist? I seem to keep finding RAID cards. If not, can one of these raid cards just be used as a controller? No RAID at all just disks.
