IBM ServeRAID - 4L FS/FT

[dr_romulus]

All right guys. I figured I would let the FS/FT crowd have a look before it ships off to EBAY.

Like the title says, this is an IBM ServeRAID-4L Ultra-160 SCSI Controller. The controller is new in box. When I say NIB I mean the box still has the seal on it, not just the static bag. This is a totally unused piece of equipment.

Description for you guys:
These 64-bit, Active PCI (hot-swap/hot-add) controllers support full RAID functions, FlashCopy, and clustering failover. They include advanced ServeRAID Manager that seamlessly integrates into Netfinity Director with UM Server Extensions to provide leading management and control of the RAID array.
Each ServeRAID-4 Ultra160 SCSI channel can support up to 14 devices each at up to 160MBps data throughput - as much as 2TB of data with the four- channel ServeRAID-4H controller. Install more than one controller in a Netfinity server and hook up Netfinity EXP300 Storage Expansion Units to expand protected storage on a massive, large- enterprise scale.

Retail price from IBM (overpriced) is around 1200 bucks. Best net price I can find is 800 bucks. Since this thing is totally new and unopened, I will let it so for 725 bucks shipped. That price is negotiable, trades are open for a comparable amount(price) of hardware or a compination of cash & trade so if you have something cool to offer just ask.

Heat is in my sig and so is my email & ICQ, so send me a message if you are interested.
