Brian, I am interested in your experiences with the promise raid card,
what driver does it use? ( we use the 3ware with the twe ) is there management software to monitor it like the 3ware? can you set it up to email you on a disk failure, are there comand line tools from unix to monitor it ( don't know if 3ware has these actually !) what model do you use and approximately how much are they? thanks in advance, Gerald On Thu, 3 Mar 2005 10:49:53 -0500, Brian Reichert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Mar 03, 2005 at 09:10:00AM +0000, Gerald de la Pascua wrote: > > we have had very good experiences with the basic 3ware cards, > > I would recommend them, easy to install, reliable, and good perfomance, > > in the uk they cost just over 100 pounds, so a similar price to two > > disks to plug into them.
