I wonder if they'll reconsider their choice of RAID?

i just asked and he says raid 0 is a lot quicker than 1 :eek:

cheers guys. well think it is acutually the raid controller that's gone.

300 users ( at a guess ) with no emails ) joy. Pretty stumped for what to do now realyl as got no other similar hardware to restore a backup to and the server is out of warrenty.

...you're going to tell me now that the RAID controller is built into the motherboard aren't you?

Indeed it is

plus it is a Dell so might cost a few quid.

oh the joys.

plus with 300+ users wouldn't like to be the one to manually export the user's PST files !!
