Re: Comparison please? Xserve RAID vs. Medea RTR or FCR

Well, with 14 drives running there will be noise. But I like the sound of drag racing too ::)) You can get insulted rack systems, or longer copper or optical cable systems.

I'm looking for a copper dual channel router setup so that I can feed 3 other computers from the same Xserve RAID. Sort of a dual channel SAN RAID 50. I'm not sure if this is possible for a RAID 50 configuration, The RAID 5 configuration is hardware based and the RAID 50 is software connfigured from the host computer. Does anyone know the technical break down of what I'm looking for? And is it possible to have a SAN RAID 50 configuration?

Just in case - [ SAN = "System Area Network" ]

Thanks,

James
