Thanks for the thought. I was unclear: I wanted the model name, not the manufacturer's name. I've had...... harsh experience when some components by a particular vendor work well, but others do not. And even model names can be *very* confusing when a vendor deliberately has a name on the box that doesn't match the spec sheet that doesn't match the BIOS reported component name. (Dear lord, don't *get* me going on the old 3com network cards and the "Mega[notworking]RAID" cards of various vintages. I've actually spent a bit more time and gotten software RAID working and will send some updates to the authors of the very helpful software RAID guidelines that I found.
