IDE/SCSI RAID on Tru64 anyone?

Hello,

We want to bring about 300GB of data on-line. The data's currently stored
on numerous CD-ROMs. After considering the current CD-ROM tower prices, we
figured out that a cheaper option is probably to use multiple IDE drives
in a RAID-0 configuration, as 75GB IDE drives go for about US$650.

I know that there are external RAID systems which internally employ IDE
drives but have a U2W SCSI interface to the host computer.

Question: Is anyone using such a RAID system on a Tru64 system? If yes
which brand/model? Any other comments anyone?

Thanks a lot // Tom
