Re: Do I really need a SAN?
by Christian Betong on Jun 30, 2008 at 12:35:09 pm



We have a box with 16 disks in a RAID 5 array running windows. Disk speed is around 600 MB/s. Currently we only had this connected on a 1GB ethernet.

Since Apple doesn´t support their hardware on windows we were thinking of this card in our windows box:

(seen at as cheap as $900-1000)

How would it work with this card connected to our RAID machine, and then use Apple´s dual channel 4Gb cards in each our two Mac pro clients?

We hope to manage without a fibre switch, and hope this setup is possible.

Any thoughts on this setup?
