Thank you so much for the above reply Johnm! I have been following this thread for a long time now and plan to start getting the components for my initial build. I have a SM SC933T chassis that I will use first and eventually turn into my "Head" server then plan on getting a Norco after I fill up this case. Again thank you so much for the work you put into this great thread! By the by you have 5 hardware raid Win2k8r2 servers? Your computer room/office must be a playground for people like us on this forum! Thanks! -Shaun

Johnm, Are you still using 2x M1015 and your Intel expander right now or are you using 3x M1015 and 1x MV8? If you aren't using the Intel expander do you plan to use it again when you do the Head+DAS setup? How do you have your drives currently connected to your HBAs? By the way thank you so much for this thread! -Shaun

StevenD, Did you get this issue resolved? Did you end up going back to a different config? Did you end up leaving both parity and cache coming off of the Areca card? Thanks!
