I've heard good things about 3ware. I have a computer coming up that might use 3ware or Adaptec. I set them up with a boot drive and use raid on the data drive so I don't boot from raid. I checked out my HPT370. The kernel drivers for it only support raid 0. No good for me. Bob -- Bob Crandell Assured Computing When you need to be sure.
