This Dell CERC (adaptec 2610sa) is the first card I have seen with this
rebuild-priority setting.  Out of curiosity, of the three choices I have
(low medium high), which choice approximates the behavior that the older
cards (PERCs, etc.) had that _did not_ give you this choice ?

Thanks so much for your (and everyone elses) great comments on this
thread.
