Those are the exact units we evaluated. We chose Excel for serveral reason, one of which was the RAIDWatch software, which seems to work perfectly. We got it stocked with 16 X 250GB drives (WDJB type), and 1GB of cache. About 10.5K for that package.
But we are still confused about many benchmark tests that we get, in windows 2003 and RHEL3-AS. I'd love to speak with someone who has a lot of experience with running benchmarks on RAID arrays, especially if they use SATA-SCSI enclousers, from any manfacturer.
If someone is willing to share their benchmarks, I'd love to share mine with you. Too much detail to go in here. Email me please at alazarev@uiuc.edu.
