<P><FONT SIZE=2>software RAID is not an option for me as i will use the raids as storage</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>for backups (mainly writes to it).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'll try to get 2 LSI LSI22320-R as Infortrend (manufactorer of my raids)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>allready tested them with my raid ;-) and btw, with the LSI i'll get</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>U320 (with adaptec i only would have U160)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>thanks,</FONT>
