Can you be more specific? Which Dell server, which RAID card, what were the performance problems, and what did you buy to fix them?

We're thinking of expanding our servers, and so far have had no complaints about our Dell servers. My colleagues think we should buy more of the same, but if there's some new problem, I'd sure like to know about it.

Thanks!
