May I share a similar conversation that I had on this very mailing list, except substitute Adaptec with 3ware? http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=122114552331372&w=2 Short story, if you need hardware RAID, buy an Areca. It's rock, rock, rock solid. In fact, I just upgraded my box to 4.6, prior to the upgrade I was running 4.3 on a degraded RAID1 -- one drive completely failed --for 5 weeks without ever noticing (full disclosure, it was my own fault for not setting up sensorsd to see the failure)! -- Ryan Corder || () ASCII ribbon campaign <ryanc at greengrey.org> || /\ against HTML email http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x1CB59D69 [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
