No suggestions for you, but I installed this exact card into a new SuperMicro
server last week to use RAID 5 on 3 SATA drives. I had no trouble at all with
it. The Adaptec card _is_ hardware RAID.
I'm assuming that you correctly created and initialized the volume? Simple
question but never hurts to ask.
Basically I just followed the quick start guide and it worked, and that's why
I have suggestions for you. Just saying that it does work and exactly as it
should.
