Basically, I have found: - If you pay less than about US$1000 for your card, you are getting "fakeraid" (that is, software RAID implemented in firmware) - With disks being so cheap today, you are hard pressed to justify using anything other than RAID1 - The software RAID in the kernel is much more uniform, in that you can manage disparate hardware in exactly the same way -Roberto -- Roberto C.
