As for the promise technology... It's everywhere.  I started "mass"
storage back when the only low cost storage was a Snap Server. After 4
years  running 24/7 my 4100 (168 GB-RAID 5, no hot spare) finally threw
a drive. The chips on the motherboard... All stamped Promise.  While I'm
not a fan of the on motherboard Promise RAID that was used in the early
days to give the home user IDE2 and IDE3, the higher end cards seem to
work flawlessly.

Hi Richard,

People like to make fun of IDE RAID, but I find that it does the job
pretty well. Of course, I'm not running the array for the IRS or social
security administration :-) But if you have 12 200GB drives running
nicely in your RAID5 array, it just goes to show it ain't half bad for
non-millionaires! :-O)

Thanks!
Tom

Storage Partition limit has been raised.  Not locked into 2TB size.  I
am currently running several IDE RAID (don't laugh until you see the
cost factors for static storage).  3ware IDE 12 port and 12 200GB drives
(11 RAID5 and hot spare) and I am topped out.  Can't wait to use the 16
port card ;->

Hey Tom and others running Win2003,

Any specific benefits for ISA that would warrant an upgrade?

Did you do an upgrade install or fresh?

I've been running 2003 in a test environment and it seems great, but
without a specific need, its a tough justification. :)

Thanks.

-Warren

Hi Mark,

I've been running my main ISA Server on Win2003 for a couple of weeks
now, and its GREAT.

HTH,

I am toying with the idea of a complete nuke and pave of my server (
it's
time) and was contemplating trying out windows server 2003. Any feedback
? Has anyone tried it, or will I be the first guinnepig to crash and
burn his network ?

Thanks,

Mark S
