I can testify for the 3ware/amcc 9500 cards. We paired 2 in an opteron server with some serial ata drives and get about 200mb/s in write benchmarking with bonnie++. The management software and support in the vanilla 2.6 kernel is also very nice. - Matt _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
