I have now looked a little at the 3ware-cards but of what I can find they only makes raidcards and I only wanted a controllercard to get the possebillity to attach more discs but I want to handle the raid myself with software raid.
If I am mistaken then please correct me. The reasons for handling the taid myself is first of all a money-issue... and the second reason is that I like the feeling (illusioned or real) that I am in controle... I had som bad history with a ide-raidcard so now I do software-raid on all my servers and I'm really happy with it.
