We (Pogo Linux) sell SATA servers and they're going like hotcakes. Seems IT is really interested in a IDE technology that truefully supports hotswapping. Sure, some people say PATA is hotswappable, with the right card/backplane/drives, and we've had good results with the 3ware cards, but it's still bending a technology to your will, that was never meant to handle it in the first place. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
