    I've upgraded our SQL2k server to cluster using Dell 2650's attached to Powervault chasis -- U320 all the way through. Our db's are 90% read, and performance had degraded significantly. Anyyone able to suggest a better external raid config and still keep my u320 15k scsi disks? I see the Hp offerings, but not sure if they work with dell's. Dells only suggestion was the EMC CX400 fibre. Looked on the HCL, but didn't see any obvious choices. Assume the degradation has to do with enabling cluster mode on the Perc 4 cards.
