I'm looking at building what I guess you could call a budget NAS array. I'm looking to start with four 250MB SATA drives on 3ware 8506-4LP controller. I eventually want to move to eight drives in the box. Is there any reason to expect that the performance of eight drives spread across two 8506-4LP controllers is going to be any worse then the same eight drives all on one 8506-8? --adam - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
