We have been using similar Servers (PE2850) with the embedded RAID
controller for all of our systems in the past, including TS. The
performance of the integrated PERC was never an issue, until we created
a single RAID5 across five 146 Gig disk and put Exchange 2000 on the
box. This was not a good idea, but everyone familiar with Exchange could
tell you that ;-)
As other have posted in the meantime, with RAID1 for a Citrix box you
should be fine with the PERC4ei.
Cheers,
Daniel

Howdy,
I'm quoting some servers from Dell and wanted to get the opinions of all
of the Citrix people out there in cyber space.
These servers (three of them) will be hosting Microsoft Office products,
Novell GroupWise, and 1 vb app (16MB memory usage/user) that is the
front end to a SQL database held on another server to 180 users.
All user data will be stored on a Novell server accessible through a
mapped drive.
I'm looking at the Dell Poweredge 1850 with dual 3.8 Xeons /2MB Cache,
4GB RAM, and raid 1.
I plan on using 2 73GB 15k RPM Drives.
What raid controllers do you use? The embedded one (PERC4ei),
PERC4eDC-PCI Express (+$415 ), or the PERC4/DC for an extra $415?
From your experiences, am I asking too much from these servers, or
should I have more?
Thank you for your continued support. This list rocks. You guys have
given me answers for questions I did not know I needed to ask.
