Re: FW: The cheapest hardware for real RAC

Thanks Milen,
I will go for Maxtor Maxtor OneTouch  - 300 GB -MFG#: E01G300 ( first choice
in the latest Hunter's article ).
I don't want to experiment too much, time is not expandable; I already have
Western Digital external disk that didn't work ( I considered LaCie
2 years ago, but of course went with the wrong choice).
Much appreciated Milen.

Regards, Ranko.

 Hi Ranko,
I am using Maxtor One Touch, 250 GB enclosure.  It is not the best price
you can get from an external 250 GB HDD, but I have bought exactly this
model only to test RAC. So far I am pretty content with it.
As far as I know LaCie is offering external HDD enclosures  with Oxford911
chipset, so you have a choice ;)

Regards. Milen

 I'll probably try Firewire again. I have Western Digital  disk, maybe
that's the problem.
What is exactly disk model  you used Milen ?
