We'll be doing raid, of course, so total system usable disk will be 20+(3*45)+(5*160), or 995gb. And, of that 995 gb, the 20gb disk won't be used for data storage, so we get 975gb for data. Still a lot of space. :) -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
