Grab some cascadeable SAS expanders and max that card's array member limit (32) :D

Though you'll top out on speed fairly quickly, as that controller only has a IOP333. Probably only take 4 fast SSD's to do that.

I say either:

2 x Intel X25-M 80GB SSD = $738.00
3 x Intel X25-M 80GB SSD = $1,107.00
4 x Intel X25-M 80GB SSD = $1,476.00

I love what you do with hardware. People may moan about you spending so much just for a five digit score, but you also achieve what some of us only dream about. And giving us logs and pictures etc. makes it all better.

These results best be good. lol

I'm alright, just spent money on a water cooling kit, ATi 4870 and an E8600.

If not, i say go for just the SAS Drives. How many do you have at the moment?

I thought you were going to raid 4 of them. Are you using on board raid or do you have a raid controller?
