What about this? http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13045_na/13045_na.html The MSA2000sa is a 2U direct attach, external shared storage solution designed for small to medium size deployments or remote locations. It comes in two models - a basic single controller model for low initial cost with the ability to upgrade later; and a model with dual controllers standard for maximum performance. This solution offers a SAS host nterface to accommodate twelve 3.5 inch enterprise class SAS drives and archival-class SATA drives. Additional capacity can easily be added when needed by attaching up to three MSA2000 12 bay drive enclosures. Maximum raw capacity ranges from 3.6TB SAS or 12TB SATA in the base cabinet, to over 14.4TB SAS or 48TB SATA with the addition of the maximum number of drive enclosures. This page says it supports SATA II http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/disk_storage/msa_diskarrays/san_arrays/index.html nate _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
