Greetings:
I've got a hardware RAID cabinet that needs a new home. I was given it some
time ago, but haven't had the time to play with it. This has five drive bays
(four data, 1 parity), plus the hardware controller in another bay. It has
four redundant power supplies, one of which is bad. Takes up the same amount
of space as a full-sized tower CPU. Configuration of the unit is through a
serial console. Centronics-50 SCSI jack on the back, with ID selector.
Now, keep in mind, I was given this, and have no documentation. I even called
the manufacture (can't remember the company at the moment) and *they* didn't
even have the documentation for it. I can't verify that it's completely
functional, though I was able to poke around via the serial console. All
five drives in it right now are 200MB, though I believe this thing actually
shipped with 2GB drives. Drives are single-ended.
So, now that you know that, this little beastie is free to any home that wants
to play with her.
