    Here is the ide ata raid controller we are getting from CDW for $56
http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=543422  You need to make
sure you get the right compatible drives.

      Another cheap way to go that we have started to do to REPLACE our
snapservers that we have had for years is to set up a workstation with a
couple of 200 gig ide drives and they now make ide raid controllers.  You
can set up a terabyte system for around $1000 this way and still have the
redundancy you need

        nice device.  I may have a hard time convincing them of that here.
One of the few rules I have on purchases is to try to stick to IBM wherever
possible.  If IBM has anything similar, I can't find it.  All they have is
their SAN solution which is insanely expensive.

        Those Snap servers look interesting.  And they have gigabit ports.
That may be the ticket.
