Hi,

would it make sense to use four bonded gigabit NICs when the DRBD storage is, 
let's say, a RAID 5 on 10K RPM SAS drives? Or would 2 cards be sufficient? I 
don't have the drives and the controller yet, so I have no idea on what their 
performance is. 

I'd like to order all hardware at once, but it is hard to get a grip on 
possible performance values.

Anyone any "feel" for this?

Thx!


Bart
