    Nope its on its own IRQ.
    Turning off Array Acceleration didn't help either.

    The only other thing i can do is modify the read/write times (currently set to 50:50)

      Did you update all the firmware and drivers for the server and the array controller?

            I am looking for four ATA 100 hard drives.
            I thought that there were 400GB Hitachis out there, but perhaps they are only SATA.

            What would you go for? the WD 250GB?

              The 400GB Hitachi IDE has just hit the vendor channels about 2 weeks ago. It IS out there, but supply may be low. Plus, the 400GB are still commanding a price premium.

              Go with the 200GB Seagates. You can get them for $60-$80 in the States lately.

                Cool! They are £60-£80 here!

                As I will be using RAID 5, four 200GB drives will give me a total of 600GB, whereas four 400GB drives will give me a total of 1.2TB

                It would be nice to get as much space as possible, as I wont be upgrading in the foreseeable future...

                  The 300GB Maxtors aren't a bad price here ($150), then. And they have 16MB buffers.

                  You'd do better getting 4x200GB drives now. I'm sure you won't fill them up before the 400GB and larger drives become affordable. Or even doing 2x400GB RAID1. You could buy the other two 400GBers when the first is full.

                    Cheers... Unfortunately, I can feel shivers down my spine at the thought of using a Maxtor/Hitachi. Have the drives improved much in this incarnation?

                      It might be a while before you can get a 400GB Seagate. Just sayin'

                        Maybe that's why they offer 5year warranties, as they arn't pushing densities a bit to fast like ibm..etc did
