[Asterisk-biz] SATA Drives RAID 1.. and Asterisk .. someone?

[Carlos Hernandez]

Hello all:

I think I should also thank all who replied to my post.

Though these particular RAID controller brands are not well know here, the
idea remains, better go with hardware controlled RAIDs.

Thank you guys,

Carlos Hernandez
