Unhappy newsflash: 3ware is discontinuing their RAID controller series. Apparently, someone in marketing must've noticed that people were buying their $300 RAID cards, then turning around and selling $10K+ turnkey RAID systems... so now that's what they're going to do, instead. *sigh* The EOL announcement was made as of early October (late September?), but they won't cease production/support until 12/31. -Ken P.S. Note that they're discontinuing it to keep others from competing with their RAID box product line, *not* because the cards were selling poorly. Can anyone say "wide open market niche?" I just hope whoever fills it is as Linux-friendly as these guys were. ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
