Yet one more reason I'm glad I no longer source servers from Dell. I just ask my guy at Aberdeen if he thinks drive X is a good choice, we discuss it like adults and I make my decision. And I generally listen to him because he's usually right. But I'd spit nails if my my RAID controller refused to work with whatever drives I decided to plug into it. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
