I am looking to install a new rack server this coming weekend, and since I don't really want to worry about backups to revive a dead system (data backups are done over the network), I am looking into a RAID 1 configuration. I am currently in the process to decide between software and hardware RAID. Linux has a full RAID system built in, and yet there are RAID controllers one can buy. Why would I choose to pay money and get a hardware controller? Also, since I can't find anything on http://lhd.zdnet.com/, do any of you have positive or negative things to say about the following RAID controllers and Debian GNU/Linux? - Adaptec 1200A Raid - Promise FastTrak133TX2000 UDMA/133 Raid - Promise Ultra133TX2 UDMA/133 - DawiControl DC-133 Raid Thanks for your time! -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than to fix a system
