Thanks in advance. > The IRS will be upgrading their document imaging system to Online 7.1 within the next couple of months. They have an NCR 3555 Server with 140 GBytes of RAID 5. The application is for processing your 1040EZ, FTD, 1099x, and 941 tax returns. There is absolutely no problem with installing RAID with Online 7.1. Do you really think the IRS would take that sort of risk ??
