Hehe. I wanted a new reporting server so I wound up donating a 4 port
SATA card for expanding an old workstation. Now I just need to stuff
two more drives into it, bringing it up to a 6 drive sw RAID 10.
Built it in a day. Meanwhile, the project to build a RAC cluster has
been ongoing for about 2 months. But it's close! :)
