[sclug] What bits? (was RAID 5 - Summary)

[Peter Brewer]

Its not what you'd call a really high performance fileserver - more of a 
big old cart horse for backing up large numbers of bigish files.  Spec 
is as follows:

Athon 3200+
2Gb RAM
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe Mobo
8x 250Gb Seagate SATA HDs
2x HP Promise SATA RAID controllers
D26 Rackmount case from avrio.co.uk (Great stuff, great guys, great service)
