I'm pretty happy with our latest batch of Supermicro rackmounts. When I
get to work, I'll pop the lid off one and check the board model #. With
a 3ware 9550 and 8 x 500gig and 8 x 750gig barracudas, I was able to get
several hundred mb/sec disk I/O according to bonnie++. I think I posted
the numbers to the list a while back.
Cheers,
