[SunHELP] IDE RAID?

[gjyoung at cfl.rr.com]

FWIW, I have had lousy luck with the IDE raid devices, but I have never used
the SCSI to IDE raid devices, but that is just adding another layoer of what
can go wrong so I think that it would still be junk.  I tored the "promise"
line of IDE raid and they stunk, they stunk bad.

Also have you considered just a software RAID with DiskSuite and 2 SCSI cards
instead of a hardware raid?  Would probably be cheaper and more redundant :).

I have a need of some sort of hardware RAID to replace a dual-disk
Solstice setup on a machine at OnRamp (who hosts sunhelp.org).

First - anybody had experience with IDE-to-SCSI RAID setups?  If so,
recommendations?

Second - anybody got any sort of external hardware RAID setup (with at
least 9G) that they'll sell cheap?  Needs to hook to the SCSI port on
the back of an Ultra 2. 8-)

Thanks.

Bill
