Least expensive option for hardware raid?

What's the least expensive option for hardware raid on an E250? It can't do internal hardware raid. The only "inexpensive" solutions I can find are a used A1000. I don't need 12 disks though.

The StorEdge A1000 is probably the cheapest, reliable storage device in the used computer market. You don't have to use 12 drives. Just use 5 drives for a 4+1 RAID 5 or 6 drives and used the 6th drive as a hot spare. Make sure to get the software with the A1000 to configure the A1000.
Good Luck

A 3310 would be the equivalent new device. torreysun at 2007-7-5 18:03:46 >
