Would you buy from a seller that uses a 1999 review to get attention on RAID systems @ its main site?
thanks gnome, i'll ask my mate to provide the details of the actual config, since he intends to purchase a back-up config in a month or so once he's all set... reason i asked is i'd never heard of them beforeQuote from gnome:
I priced one to an equally configured Dell 9200, and Xi's was about twice the price. You'll have to judge whether it's worth $2X.

Some components are better than others, but lots are run-of-the mill... generic, even. No sense paying a high price on that stuff.
