It's a Compaq ProLiant DL380 with three PCI host bridges, dual channel
memory ports, and an integrated Compaq RAID controller. The controller is
on the 32bit/33MHz bus, but it shouldn't be any problem...
Compaq's 'big storage guy' in Oslo tells me I need to do 256kB block
transfers from the drives to get the optimum speed...
