Which is funny because Intel's SASUC8i (rebranded LSI3082E-R) is true hardware RAID which I recently picked up *new* for $150. They don't do RAID-5/6 or have a BBU but IMO you don't need a BBU for RAID-0/1/10. Where can you pickup a new server for $150? :-P -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
