Well I'd say you'd probably get your money back if it's not supported, but I doubt it would work as a proper raid card. At that price it'll no doubt be a 'soft-raid' card where the raid works with a driver and the actual raid part of it is done by the CPU (rather than with something like a 3Ware card which has it's own memory and dedicated CPU for raid). If it works though you should be able to use Linux SoftRAID. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
