      Windows software solution, AFAIK it's dead now that virtualization has taken over. It was some bizarre and foolish approach using software to control the hardware. Bad idea.

      The CacheCade approach was much more sound.

        Thats what I thought too. So if I wanted to make a major upgrade to these servers it would be better for me to use the SSD I already have for cachecade RAID1, then buy 4 2.5" 6Gb/s 15K 300Gb drives for a RAID5. That sound right?

          Very likely. But we aware that CacheCade is read only acceleration. It works great, but only helps writes by getting reads out of the way.

            @scottalanmiller Ah yes. I forgot that its a "hot data" caching system. I dont know if that is particularly useful for me.

              Intel has started calling Blind Swap - "Surprise Hot Plug".

                  No idea. But it is decently clear.

                    Because you're surprised when you blindly swap the right drives?

                      The system is surprised, to say the least.
