That's something one should do for these Adaptecs :) And that thing they are putting into Proliants instead of the RAID controller. If it's fast *and* does not drop disks from the array for no reason (HP, I'm looking at you here) - stick with hardware RAID, always said that. YMMV. Your approach gives portability, nothing wrong with that. > LSI controllers are fast but have a ridiculous control > interface. I agree with you. MEGACli was designed for Matrians, and storcli can be hardly called an improvement over it. But at least you can monitor separate disks via smartd/smartctl, so it's not that bad. Reco
