No, what's utter bullshit is someone coming on this who obviously has no real
knowledge of hardware RAID systems and spouting misinformation. Hardware RAID
implementations are absolutely _NOT_ standardized. Each vendor uses a
proprietary method different from others.
Rip the Smart2 controller from your Compaq server and drop in an IBM ServeRAID
card, and report how that goes. Do the same ripping a 3Ware card out of a
system and replace it with an LSI Logic MegaRAID card.
None of these scenarios will work. Mike is dead on the money. You are clueless.
