All of the controllers mentioned so far--3ware, MegaRAID (both made by LSI), and Areca--are true hardware RAID controllers. If you intended on doing md RAID you would probably not purchase one of these, but would go instead with a simple SATA/SAS controller with sufficient ports and bandwidth to host all your drives (and make sure all hardware components supported hot swap). --keith -- kkel...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
