See... that's the exact reason I do NOT like hardware RAID. if my motherboard explodes I need to have a compatible controller card or my RAID may as well have exploded as well. I do not find any appreciable performance hit with software RAID, but I generally only use RAID1 anyway. I really like the idea of hardware-independent RAID; I'm not at the mercy of any particular vendor, and I don't have to keep spare RAID cards stocked. -A. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
