[SunHELP] IDE RAID?

[bran tregare]

http:://www.raidweb.com

I installed one of their ArenaII Rackmount raid units at my last employer, 
with 500GB of storage in it, a little over a year ago, it's still running 
strong :)  painless install.  it uses IDE drives, and has a Ultra2 Scsi out 
(looks like a single SCSI drive to the host system :) ) pretty 
sweet.  before the $ got cut we were going to get 14 of these and hook them 
up to a Compaq fast-wide raid controller and make a 7 terabyte stripe :)
