Looking at the Dell PowerEdge 440SC web page for Colombia. The box will
have two 250 GB SATA drives. The HD controller is: SAS 5IR SAS,Internal
Raid Adapter (SAS5IR)
for HD Configuration) the options are:
(1) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller)-RAID 0 (ASASR0)
(2) Onboard SATA, 2 Drives connected to Onboard SATA Controller No RAID
(MST2)
(3) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller) which supports 1-2 Hard
Drives-No RAID (ASAS)
(4) Add-in SAS5iR (SATA/SAS Controller)-RAID 1 (ASASR1)
Apparently the cost for them is the same. Option 1 (RAID 0) or Option 4
(RAID 1)? Suggestions solicited! TIA, Lanny
BTW: I plan to put CentOS on it. If Dell installs Linux, with 1 year
support, down here they charge:
(a) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4, 1 year subscription to Red Hat
Network, English (RH4ES1) [about US$400]
(b) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, 1 CPU, 1 YR Subscription, FI
(SL101S1) [about US$160]
