Hi -

I've got a Sunfire 280R/Solaris 8 with an A1000 SCSI RAID array, and
I've been looking at some third-party vendors to add additional
storage. My top two contenders are both internal IDE -> external SCSI
boxes:

(1) Raidweb Arena 2400

        Currently only supports 1 array
        4 RU, 12 bays, 128-512MB cache
        http://www.raidweb.com/ide.html

(2) JetStor III IDE

        Supports 2 independent interfaces
        3 RU, 64-512MB cache

        http://www.acnc.com/02_01_jetstor_iii_ide.html (8 bay)
        http://www.acnc.com/02_01_jetstor_iii_ide_14.html (14 bay)

Anybody using either of these? Any good/bad reviews? I didn't find
many opinions via google. I'm open to other suggestions too, but I'm
limited to ~$4,500US for a driveless array.

Thanks,

        steve edberg
