Hey Matthew,
See about 3 messages ago.. We already have them (I did say UPS or
BBU, it should have been a logical 'and' instead of logical 'or' .. my
bad ;). Your right though, that was a no-brainer as well.
I am wondering how the card (3ware 9550sx) will work with SSD's, md
or lvm, blocksize, ext3 or ext4 .. but.. this is the point of
benchmarking ;)
