If these are the Intel SR2300s, I can't recommend them. We've had huge
problems with the 15 odd we have - hot swap PSUs *not* being hotswap, PSUs
blowing and taking out everything on that power rail. We've lost two
motherboards. The Linux tools for configuring the array are crap -
catting some file in /proc/scsi caused boxes to hard-hang.
The SR2300s are budget alternatives to HP DL380s & Dells 2650s. But they
aren't nearly as high quality.
