It's driver, besided being totally closed-source and RedHat specific, has been known to cause data corruption, and have huge performance pentalties (poor locking etc). Note, however, that the non-RAID Promise cards totally rock :) I've never used one of the 3ware cards, but I've heard good things about them. My opinion is that you should simply use one of the non-RAID cards with Linux's native software RAID0 or RAID1 code. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6+d94/ZTSZFDeHPwRApiGAKC5xTQL8XHmvRBO5NaSOPiGkMYJngCeOPnS Ie+QZK71BX/VqEFapk1ELW4= =woIc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
