Note that the Promise RAID controllers we had issues with were the SuperTrak SX6000's - not the cheap onboard motherboard ones. Don't have any experience with those. I've also heard great things about the Adaptec 2400A's. Haven't used one myself, though. > Additionally, where do you see Serial ATA within the linux scheme of > things? I see it as the next logical step. As I understand it, the 3ware Serial ATA raid controllers are already supported (by the standard 3ware controller), and most of the on-board SATA controllers are also supported in the standard kernel. I'm just waiting until the drives come down a bit in price (well, and I'd like Western Digital to release a larger Raptor drive), and for the hotswap trays to get cheaper, and I'll probably switch over to SATA on any new boxes (servers and workstations.) -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
