Why do you suggest that (3ware)? All the reviews I've read seem to agree that the Broadcom is the best bang for the buck, and from feature lists, it's the only one to offer online capacity increases for the arrays, something that's very important in my book. 800GB would just be the start.

At the current rate (and assuming I keep getting gigs, knock on wood) I'll be expanding to 1600GB within two years, and I REALLY don't want to break the array.

Anyway, I'm not trying to be belligerant (sp?) - I'm just wondering if you can back up your suggestion, or if it's just a "geek intuition" thing.
